{this} object literal

[Claude Pache]

More generally, all keywords are excluded, that makes sense in general as, e.g., `{ if }` could not be equivalent to `{ if: if }`, or `{ yield }` inside a generator function should not be equivalent to `{ yield: yield }`.

But yes, one could have special-cases for literals such as `this`, `true`, `false` and `null`. It is an accident of history that `{ NaN }` and `{ undefined }` work as expected, but not `{ null }`.
