[Javascript] Literal array declarations

[Philip Thompson]

Hi all.

I ran across http://www.jslint.com/ and had it evaluate my code. One  
of the things it suggested was to "Use the array literal notation []."  
So, I had:

var anArray = new Array();

and JSLint wants me to do:

var anArray = [];

Well, I'm curious... why is the literal declaration preferred?

Thanks,
