Why? Don't you think it is useful to have a visual indication of which
data structure you are using and what is going to be evaluated in
parallel?

In any case, if we want to get rid of the parallel array syntax, we have
to overload list literals, enumerations and list comprehensions. We have
the generic monadic desugaring for the latter but recovering an efficient
DPH program from that sn't trivial.
