Summary:
If I try to declare an empty array of objects of a class that's declared within another class like this:

var foo = [OutsideClass.NestedClass]()

I get the compiler error "Invalid use of '()' to call a value of non-function type"

Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to instantiate an empty array using initialiser syntax (i.e. [foo]()) of a class that's declared "nested" inside another class:

class OutsideClass {
    class InsideClass {
    }
}

var bar = [OutsideClass.InsideClass]() // Error

Expected Results:
I believe this syntax should be valid, and so:

var bar = [OutsideClass.InsideClass]()

...should produce the same result as it would with a non-nested class, e.g. be equivalent to:

var bar:[OutsideClass.InsideClass] = []

Actual Results:
Compiler error: "Invalid use of '()' to call a value of non-function type '[OutsideClass.InsideClass.Type]'"
