Description

lists allow implicit ctors on enforce type coercion with the 'as' keyword

[100,200] as Dimension

maps are used for named parameters in ctors like
new Dimension(x:100, y:200)

just as a matter of completeness it would be logical to also provide

[x:100, y:200] as Dimension

Test:
assert new Dimension(x:100, y:200) == [x:100, y:200] as Dimension
