Object literals added to the language

Prior to that, for interoperate with Lua, when a plain old lua table (POLT for short) was needed, you had two options:

• Provide a table with string keys

{"like" "this"}

• Or convert a table to object with the object/new function, which is done at runtime.

(object/new {:like "this"})

Now, you can have POLT values compiled statically, so you don't waste process time and memory:

; This will be translated to a POLT value
'{:note "the single quote"}
