An optional comma can be inserted after the last array() parameter, though, 
which is useful when you have to initialize with more elements.

ISTM that this naturally follows from using dynamic (run-time) instead of 
static (compile-time) type-checking.  [Java (which uses static type-
checking) can do this as well, but you have to wrap the value in an object 
and have to use a wrapper class that accepts object references.]
