Ok. I understand. And it's also going to be easier to find (its 'man' page :-)
if it's a word, e.g.
http://google.com/search?q=beget+javascript
http://google.com/search?q=typeof+javascript
http://google.com/search?q=instanceof+javascript
than any grawlix-y term:
http://google.com/search?q=::+javascript
http://www.google.com/search?q==>+coffescript
So, fwiw, beget or begets sounds pretty good to me:
let object= base begets {a: 1, b: 2};
