I like Stefan's proposed syntax and as a way of a motivating example consider writing a toString method that gives the field values within square brackets, now you would write:

"[" + field1 + ", " + field2 + ", " + field3 + "]" With the proposal you would say: "[{field1}, {field2}, {field3}]" Which I find clearer.

Just note: now we can use much cleaner concat( field1, ',' , field2, ',' field3 )

Many thanks to Stefan for writing this up formally.
