Why would you need to store plain key => value pairs as objects? If you need
extra functionality for your data, make use of your own or built-in classes.
JavaScript has the object literal syntax because it distinguishses between an
array - e.g. [1,2,3] - and an object literal - e.g. {name: 'Bob'}. PHP arrays
can be used either way. This is why PHP has no such syntax.

I wouldn't consider this the highest priority bug/request ever, but that would
definitely be great. :D

It will be nice to see this feature. We should have more friendly syntax.

Description:
------------
Thanks for short arrays syntax! :) Now it's a time to create short object
syntax for simple creatation of anonymous objects with custom fields. The
current shortest way is:
$obj = (object)['field1' => 'value1', 'field2' => 'value2'];
Think it isn't beautiful :) I suggest the following syntax similar to
JavaScript (which is very handly):
$obj = {{field1: 'value1', field2: 'value2'}};
or, if it possible, the same as JavaScript:
$obj = {field1: 'value1', field2: 'value2'};
