Your suggestion would still ambiguous even if [] were redeployed.
Bill's wouldn't. Consider

    f(a[]) + g(b[])

Do we mean

    f([x foreach(x:a)]) + g([y foreach(y:b)])

or

    [f(x) + g(b[i]) foreach(i,x:a)]

?

I have to say, I prefer a variation of Bill's syntax. I'd want foreach
at the front, not at the back. Python tries to be more like natural
language, but D wants to be more compiler-friendly (easy to parse). So
I'd want

    [foreach(x:a) expr(x)]
