"NOTES
(10) In an array_aggregate, positional notation may only be used with
two or more expressions; a single expression in parentheses is
interpreted as a parenthesized_expression. A named_array_aggregate,
such as (1 => X), may be used to specify an array with a single
component."
Sorry to have wasted your time.
