The argument here seems to be that the need for conditionally declaring properties of an object literal isn't happening often enough that it warrants an abstraction. (And that seems reasonable from what I've seen too).
The problem with this the process of discussion. This if-in-literal is not an isolated proposal. It is part of a bigger thing: http://blog.herby.sk/blosxom/Programming/ES-next/empowered-data.html
The issue with bigger things is, they only get one type of response: tl;dr (and I confess I do it myself :-( ).
If one tries to go in small steps and tries to get things in feature-by-feature, he get a response of "who needs it?" (how many times did I hear it). Yes, isolated, the feature seem of little use, but as a part of a whole, its need is much more apparent. The only problem is, "the whole" is tl;dr.
It seems there is no way to present something more complex. How to present something bigger so it gets actually considered?
