oh , this is damn *PERFECT* ! 

        a) easy reading
        b) 'type' and 'property' adjacent without hopping through list
of varnames or complex property-constructs
        c) "variable/keys" adjacent to init value

You sold that to me. 

Then i could pray to the god of the camel herdsman, that

      my DNA human size(4) ($alpha, $beta,  $gamma, $delta) 
                         = ('atgc', 'ctga', 'aatt', 'ccaa');

may be activated through perl6 custom parser options 8-) Or even

      my DNA human size(4) ($alpha = 'atgc', $beta = 'ctga', $gamma =
'aatt', $delta = 'ccaa') 

which i could sell my perl6-beginner classes even easier.

I have a german background. But my litte english-vs-perl6 example sounds
not so odd to me (what doesn't mean to much):

      my <aged> <uncles> ( john, james, jim, tony ) are 
                         ( 102,  99,    88,  79   )             

while 'are' stands for '=' and of course the initializing integers
wouldn't match the type 'uncle'.

Thanks for your patience with me,
Murat
