Summary:
It’s not possible to create an empty array of nested structs using shorthand syntax for arrays.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a playground or Xcode project and use the following code:

/////
struct A {
    struct B {

    }
}

var foo0 : Array<A.B> = [] // OK
var foo1 = Array<A.B>() // OK
var foo2 : [A.B] = [] // OK
var foo3 = [A.B]() // Error: Invalid use of ‘()’ to call a value of non-function type ‘[A.B.Type]’
///

Expected Results:
foo3 would contain an empty array of type [A.B]

Actual Results:
Compiler error: Error: Invalid use of ‘()’ to call a value of non-function type ‘[A.B.Type]’

Regression:
Also happens with Xcode 6.3.2
