Literal what?

Associative array? That uses square brackets, not curly brackets.
Struct? What struct would you be creating? And curly braces only 
works for initialization.
Lambda? Well you can omit the parameters if there are none, and 
`{}` in a lambda will give you a block to write, so `{}` is a 
valid lambda that accepts nothing and does nothing.
