Array literal syntax

Here's an overview of array literal syntax in Slate right now, mostly  
Squeak-derived:
{} -> produces a regular Array with the evaluated contents as elements.
#{} -> does the same, only at compile-time.
#() -> produces an array with the literal-reading of all symbols  
within, e.g.
#(foo 3.4 . 8 'fi' #(1 2)) is the same as {#foo. 3.4. #'.'. 8.  
'fi' {1. 2}}

It occurred to me that ByteArray literals might be useful. Any  
comments or suggestions on that?

Smalltalk does #[] for that, but for us, that's compile-time  
evaluation of a block. Generally, we use #- prefix to denote compile- 
time evaluation.
