It *feels* more critical than the lambda syntax that is getting so
much attention in the other current thread. What is needed in order to
push this? I use AS3's Dictionary quite regularly for its weak keys,
and I imagine there would be growing need in JS as the number and
complexity of ajax apps increases.
