I don't think so. { (short) 1, (short) 2 } should work, though.
Maybe someone will add C99 support to the C parser some day, and
improve this along the way.

Just so you know: this is probably not doing what you expect. Try
"print $arr". In fact it's probably calling malloc() in the program,
allocating memory, and stuffing your shorts there. I did some
experimenting with this but got too confused by the parser - I'll be
back to it, since it's related to my recent Python project.
