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)
