Can't use =, that is just the assignment operator, so

  foo(a = 1, b = 2)

is the same as

  (a = 1, b = 2, foo(a, b))

We'd need some new operator or punctuator, e.g.

  foo(a: 1, b: 2)

or

  foo(a => 1, b => 2) // clashes with arrow function syntax

Anyway, this only helps for the "top ply" of the object/array tree containing values to store as binary data. You'd still have object and array literals starting one ply down.
