I could accept that too -- I would just want one syntax for blocks, a 
different one for braces, and no confusing middle ground.

I'd be happy with this for arrays too:

["pet" => "dog", "name" => "fred", "drink" => "ale"]

or

["pet": "dog", "name": "fred", "drink": "ale"]

I just think that {a => b} and {a <= b} are too similar.
