Subject: [ruby-core:40025] Re: 2.0 feature questionnaire - hash declaration syntax improvement

I would also like to see the following improvements to hash declaration
syntax:

1 - Allowing colon alignment:

I'd like to be able to write code like this:

my_hash = {
any_key : 1,
another_key : 2,
}

2 - Allowing strings to be converted to symbols and even interpolated:

interpolated = 'awesome'
my_hash = {"some spaced key": 1, "#{interpolated}_key": 2}

This would generate {:"some spaced key" => 1, :awesome_key => 2}

Are these changes reasonable for Ruby 2.0?
