I believe that we could grammatically use ArrowBody as the body of concise
methods in object literals and classes. In that case, Dave's example could be
expressed as:
box = {
_value: 0,
unbox() ()-> this._value,
setbox(v) this._value = v
}
It could also be used as the body of getter/setters
val = {
_value: 0,
get value() this._value,
set value(v) this._value = v
}
