Actually, it's more like two.

a[1]
int[]
int[10]
a[c..d]

These are all subscript notation.

[1, 2, 3]
[a:b, c:d]

These are array literal notation.

But that's like arguing there's a meaningful difference between a.b and
A.b where a is a value and A is a type.

It's worth noting that I still sometimes forget that [...] is for array
literals, but I never ever forget its use for subscripting.
