That's not what got me here. For me the issue is uniformity of guard syntax
across all contexts where we need them -- including properties of object
literals. I agree it is the uncommon case. But the non-uniformity of using
one syntax for this case and another syntax for the more common cases bugs
me. Likewise, the technically unambiguous
{ foo : G : 33 }
I find too visually confusing and ugly. As you are fond of saying, notation
is user interface.
