Disallow Array constructors.
Use of the Array constructor to construct a new array is generally discouraged in favor of array literal notation because of the single-argument pitfall and because the Array global may be redefined. The exception is when the Array constructor intentionally creates sparse arrays of a specified size by giving the constructor a single numeric argument.
