Array.new is ok too, though -- no problem with a reserved identifier as 
a property name. It's darn nice for Rubyists.

OTOH Array.of matches the preposition pattern used in Array.from. But I 
don't think this trumps Array.new. Cc'ing Dave for his thoughts.

`Array.new` is ok too, though -- no problem with a reserved identifier as 
a property name. It's darn nice for Rubyists.

OTOH `Array.of` matches the preposition pattern used in `Array.from`. But I 
don't think this trumps `Array.new`. Cc'ing Dave for his thoughts.
