I can't support this proposal.   Adds more syntax to a language that is 
already becoming cramped.  I also don't see the purpose of having 
simple constructors like this?  Are you going to add (n choose k) 
simple constructors to a class?   I could get behind field initializer 
syntax ala C# "with" modeling the syntax we have for structures.

new Person() {name: "Bob"};
