He mentions others who support this too.
Drupal 7 is the time to do this, not D6.
I believe in this too, as it melds more with Drupal's structured  
array syntax, but PHP5 might
change my opinion.

Especially when you throw in things like the ArrayObject syntax  
(array / object duality), which could
even potentially supplant #-notation.

So yeah. needs more time to gestate methinks.

<?php
class form extends ArrayObject {
   function __construct($props = null) {
     foreach ((array) $props as $key => $value) {
       $this->{$key} = $value;
     }
   }
}

class element extends ArrayObject {
   function __construct($props = null) {
     foreach ((array) $props as $key => $value) {
       $this->{$key} = $value;
     }
   }
}

$form = new form();
$form['title'] = new element(array(  // this would probably be new  
DrupalTextfield() or something
	'type' => 'textfield',
	'title' => 'my title',
	'default_value' => 'default text'
));
$form['group'] = new element(array(
	'type' => 'fieldset',
	'title' => 'meh')
);

$form['group']['moretext'] = new element(array(
	'type' => 'textfield',
	'title' => 'blah'
));

print $form['group']->type;
print $form['title']->default_value;
