Removing stdClass for instantiation and initialization of simple objects is
one of a future scope proposal.

This RFC tries to address instantiation and initialization boilerplate
reduction with a syntax which would
not be restricted to stdClass only.

Although it's not a game-changer, simple addition to the language which
reduces boilerplate when dealing
with objects which don't need complex constructors like for eg. DTO objects=
.
