I want composite object literal notation as well. But certainly not {| a=1, b=2 |}. Rather (a=1, b=2) or (a:1, b:2). Untyped case would created an instance of Object (but since as of now they can't have attrs, there should be another modif), or of a new FreeObject subtype of Object.

"(a=1, b=2) or (a:1, b:2)"

These look to me like they should produce a named-tuple instance. I usually just use:

... class Simple(object): ... def __init__(self, **kwargs): ... self.__dict__.update(kwargs)

... Simple(a=1,b=2)
