> I wonder is it possible (not difficult) to implement in Jexl a construct that would allow us to initialize object properties in one statement, so that it would be possible to replace the code like
> {code}
> var i = Address;
> i.City = 'NY';
> i.Street = '1st Avenue';
> i.House = '22';
> return i;
> {code}
> with something like
> {code}
> Address {City : 'NY', Street : '1st Avenue', House : '22'}
> {code}
> May be we could also consider a variant for array-style accessors, like
> {code}
> var i = Address;
> i["City"] = 'NY';
> i["Street"] = '1st Avenue';
> i["House"] = '22';
> return i
> {code}
> would be identical to
> {code}
> Address {"City" : 'NY', "Street" : '1st Avenue', "House" : '22'}
> {code}
> I think this is somewhat similar to inline map initialization syntax, which is proved to be very useful and productive, so it would be nice to have such a feature for common objects too
