and i would prefer to keep that syntax available if at some point in the future we decide to allow classes (or perhaps just record) to be initialized in a literal way. 

record Person(String name, int age) {} 

var person = new Person { name = "Ana", age = 31 }; 
Person person = new { name = "Ana", age = 31 }; 

which is more readable once you starts to have more than 3 or 4 components (and avoid builders).
