tracker issue : CF-3037333

Problem:

It's important that ColdFusion 9 support using colon-syntaxed property value pairs for object literal argument notation:

<cfset testMethod( { property1: value1, property2: value2 } ) />

in addition to the current

<cfset testMethod( { property1 = value1, property2 = value2 } ) />


As Sean Corfield noted, CF already allows : in named arguments...

function func( foo, bar ) {

   return foo & bar;

}

x = func( foo : 42, bar : "answer" );

writeOutput(x);

Also:

x = func( argumentCollection : { foo = 42, bar = "answer" } );

So why not:

x = func( argumentCollection : { foo : 42, bar : "answer" } );
