Isn't it used in E4X (not that I used it or care for it; but I recall I
have read somewhere :: is not usable for this reason... I would
otherwise proposed it already ;-) )?

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: "ressell.legg...@gmail.com <mailto:ressell.legg...@gmail.com>";
//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:
https://github.com/allenwb/ESnext-experiments/blob/master/ST80collections-exp7.js
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 ::
