I don't share most of the concerns that have been raised in this thread.
However, I find the argument from consistency compelling. I would like the
object literal syntax to be the same as the apparent object literal syntax
that appears in moustache. We should allow "=" either in both places or
neither. I prefer both. But I mildly prefer neither over including it in
just one of these.
