Bug description:  Special case of a function with single array argument

Description:
------------
I propose to add a special syntax (simplification) for a function declared
with just one argument. The idea is to remove array with its brackets ( )
in the function call to improve readability and get rid of unneeded array
keyword. This feature is expected by many people who use such type of
functions as a replacement of the PHP's missing feature to specify
function's arguments by name.

For example:

  function setParams(array $params) { /*...*/ }

Current call:

  setParams(array('name' => 'foo', 'width' => 300, 'height' => 150));

Proposed call:

  setParams('name' => 'foo', 'width' => 300, 'height' => 150);
