djinncoyoteSome stuff for me to learn.

My initial reaction to some of those examples is stunned disbelief. Why would you want to allow defining a property whose name is an empty string, an exclamation mark, or a number? And why would you use array syntax, [], for those, when they aren't arrays? So that "car[7]" is not necessarily the 7th item in a car array, but might be a car property by the name of 7?
Yeah. How fun.
