Ya, you could always have the Array constructor pass on 
construction Parameters as well, and I think your examples make 
sense.

actually, Nimrod arrays look like:

     var a : array[0..5, int]
     var a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] # shorthand

and dynamic arrays (sequences):

     var s : seq[int]
     var s = @[0, 1, 2, 3, 4] # shorthand


D has the best array syntax, IMO. Especially with AA shorthands:

     auto aa = ['one':1, 'two':2, ... ];

I think that's pretty much prefect that way it is.
