Subject: unifying hash and proc syntax

Hey, crazy idea. Why not use the same syntax for hashes and arrays? For 
example:

{
   1 => 2,
   2 => 3,
   3 => 4,
   |x|
     x + 1
}

This is essentially a hash with a default_proc that adds 1 to its argument.

Leave out the => pairs and you get something that acts like a proc. 
Leave out the |...|... construct and you get something that acts like a 
hash. With both, it's a hash with a default proc.

It's backwards compatible.

Are there any syntactic ambiguities?
