Feature #11758: Add keyword assignment syntax

----------------------------------------
I think keyword assignments would be a useful addition, especially since the introduction of keyword arguments

The basic example would be, and is expected to work like required keyword arguments:

~~~ruby
a:, b: = {a: 1, b: 2}
~~~

A useful use case is returning keywords instead of multiple values making the values position independent:

~~~ruby
def foo
  return a: 1, b: 2
end

a:, b: = foo

puts a # => 1
puts b # => 2
~~~
