writeln( [1, 2, 3] ); // prints "[1, 2, 3]"
writeln( [] ); // prints "" (nothing)

Why doesn't writeln( [] ) print "[]"? It seems to me that "[]" would be far
more useful, and it is certainly more consistent with the non-empty array
behaviour.

I know this is a minor thing, but if I'm trying to debug, blank lines aren't
very much use, and actually cause more confusion than enlightenment.
