It's not. I'd say they're both equally problematic.

Array literals are useful enough in general that we're willing to 
accept this problematic special case in order to have them. It's 
not obvious to me that the proposed `{}` meets the same standard. 
Maybe if the proposal were for some kind of "struct literals", 
rather than just `{}` by itself, it would be more attractive.
