Quite often I see constructions like this: ```js foo({one:1,two:2}); ``` so call of function with single parameter - object literal. Idiom named "Poor man named arguments passing" Idea is to extend existing JS/ES syntax calls to support simple form of the call above: ```js foo {one:1,two:2 }; ``` Semi-formally that syntax looks like: ``` function-call: <name-token> '(' <parameter-list> ')' // existing form <name-token> <object-literal> // proposal ``` This syntax extension will not break correct pre-ES6 code as far as I can tell. But I am not sure about new ES6 arrivals. In fact we can add even more generic form of function call: ```js foo 1,2,"three"; ``` that is an equivalent of `foo(1,2,"three");` In this case grammar may look like: ``` function-call: <name-token> '(' <parameter-list> ')' // existing form <name-token> <parameter-list> // proposal ``` Where `<parameter-list>` is comma `,` separated list of expressions. Just to reduce that bracketing noise in syntax.
