tracker issue : CF-3035231

Problem:

When creating a script based UDF, if you specify a return type of foo[], which means array of foo, you get a compiler error. Since script based UDFs are supposed to be exactly like their tag based counterparts, this  needs to be added. I didn't test - but I'd assumed it would break in the argument list as well.

And also the return type with dot notation doesnt work.
Method:

<-----test.cfc----->

<cfcomponent>
<cfscript>


public function func1()
{

return "this is func1";

}

</cfscript>

<cffunction name="hi">


<cfoutput> i am in cfc </cfoutput>

</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

<----mytest.cfm----->


<!---<cffunction name="test1" returntype="test[]">
<cfset myobj = createobject("component","test")>
<cfreturn [myobj]>
</cffunction>--->

<cfscript>

test[] function test2()
{
myobj1=createobject("component","test");
return [myobj1];

} 


</cfscript>


<cfdump var="#test2()#">


the commented part has cffunction which works with return type=test[] but that doesnt work for function in cfscript.



--------------repro case for return type with dot notation------
<cfscript>
/**
* This is hint for the function
*
* @argname This is hint for the attribute
*
*/
public com.mysite.mycfc function init ()
{
return this;
}

</cfscript> 
Result:

 Invalid CFML construct found on line 9 at column 5.
ColdFusion was looking at the following text:
