Basically you are saying that : becomes an expression operator. However, that
creates an ambiguity (and potential backwards compatibility issues) with the
use of : as a statement label designator:
Email: "[email protected]"; //already valid ES meaning Email is
the label of this statement.
However, unless I'm overlooking something, :: would work just fine.
let email = Email :: "ressell.leggett@gmail";
I not recall why we haven't seriously considered :: as an alternative to <|.
It certainly eliminates all the typography issues.
I updated my standing test case to use it:

It looks fine, perhaps not quite as visually distinctive as <| but it certainly
eliminates all the typography issues.
I think this it it! We should replace the <| symbol with ::
