Not quite for me.

I find the idea of COPA useful, but I am concerned about the mechanism, of
which syntax choice is a component. I want a choice that (a) has good
ergonomics, (b) doesn't complicate the parser, (c) is available to use, and
(d) allows for the most general conversion of named values to object
properties, while (e) validating the properties in the normal way.

Overall, I'm a "no, not right now" on this. I'd be happy to start/join a
working group to advance the concept, tho.
