@-prefixed literals for collections are definitely welcome (I won't miss those nested 'dictionaryWith...' calls for sure).

Anyone know how the []-access will work? Is this going to be a special case for NSArray/NSDictionary synthesized in by the compiler, or is there going to be runtime support for a []-operator message a la Ruby, or maybe something related to key-value coding?

I hope this is done coherently, anyway. I worry that too many special cases to overcome problems like verbose collection access could snowball.

There are methods you can implement in your own classes to provide setting and getting for both the array and dictionary style syntax.

If you're a Mac developer, check the forums. Else, wait for the info to be non-NDA.
