int[] syntax sugar for array(int) constructor

[mhagmajer]

The purpose of this feature request is to support the same syntax sugar that TypeScript has for Array type definition which is T[]. When user writes T[] in type position in AskScript, the parser should interpreter it as array(T) where T like int

We need to add here more description, it is hard to find out the scope of the task and not clear where to begin @mhagmajer

[czerwinskilukasz1]

The scope of this task is to adapt the pegjs parser to accept the new 'int[]' syntax in addition to the current one.
As for the details of the syntax change proposal, we need to ask for Marcin's explanation and examples.

I could take care of that. I understand it is Peg.js related - I browsed code. However, I need some tips and methods to test it well.

Filip, by the way, didn't you want to work on #52 instead? ;) @Fifciu

[Fifciu]

Nope. However, as both are about synthetic sugar - maybe it will be my next step :)

[czerwinskilukasz1]

Cool :)

[Tuhaj]

Taking over!
