Support object literals

[egucciar]

An expression with object-literal is not supported. E.g.

{ object: 'Literal' }

How come?

Probably because JSEP parses a subset of JS (remember it stands for JavaScript Expression Parser). Now, what constitutes expressions is debatable. I think we can all agree that a + b is an expression and function(a) { return a + 1 } is not. However, there is a lot in between that could be argued either way, and I think object literals fall in this gray area.

I, for one, do see value in supporting them. They would be pretty useful as operands in expressions. It's also the only part of JSON That jsep cannot parse, fwiw. I’m not sure what @EricSmekens thinks though.

Any news on this since 2017? Would pull requests for this be welcome? If the maintainers are good with it, I'd love to take a crack at it since this would be so useful.

Would be definitely welcome!
