Seems a possibility.   Let’s put this on the list, but right now we’re focusing 
on getting to a usable minimal implementation so we can gather usability and 
performance feedback.   Language work to follow!

Anonymous value class ?

[Remi Forax]

While testing how value types can be used, i had to find workarounds around the 
fact that there is no way to create an anonymous value class using the compiler.

If we follow the idea of having a classical constructor being transformed to a 
factory method, i think we should also allow anonymous value class.
  new __ByValue Object() {
   ...
  };
a synthetic factory $make$ being generated instead of a synthetic constructor.
