    [torque] named arguments for constructors · e87e3b1f
    Tobias Tebbi authored
    This changes the syntax for constructing structs and classes to explicitly
    mention the fieldnames, similar to JavaScript object literals.
    The fields still have to be listed in the same order as in the struct/class
    declaration.
    As in Javascript, {foo: foo} can be abbreviated as {foo}.
    
    Example:
    
    macro NewJSArray(implicit context: Context)(
        map: Map, elements: FixedArrayBase): JSArray {
      return new JSArray{
        map,
        properties_or_hash: kEmptyFixedArray,
        elements,
        length: elements.length
      };
    }
    
    Drive-by cleanup: Make struct and class constructors follow the same pattern
                      in the parser and the AST.
