Description

As detailed in GROOVY-3237, Groovy currently uses different delimiters when formatting Object[] vs. primitive arrays. Arrays of either type should use the same delimiter.

A recent poll (<http://www.nabble.com/What-shall-it-be-for-arrays%3A-%22-...-%22%2C-%22%7B...%7D%22%2C-or-%22%28...%29%22--td21272614.html>) was overwhelmingly (unanimous so far) in favor of square brackets, just like collections and primitive arrays are in Groovy 1.5.
