I can see this work for a general case of
<function> <| { … }
As soon as the RHS is a function, the result is a function. Russell mentioned
that if the RHS didn’t have a property "constructor", its value would be
function() {} by default.
I see two problems:
- If you introduce a new mechanism, you might as well introduce class literals.
- You might really want to create an object whose prototype is a function.
