I suggest extending the existing `S s = {field: value}` syntax
to allow specifying the type itself next to the field list and
make it usable generally everywhere.
So, instead:
takeThing(Thing{ field: val, num: 43 });
It shouldn't clash with anything else, I think.
I support this idea of extending curly-brace initializers. It
would be very useful and less ambiguous than parenthesized
initializers.
