Ruby 1.9 hash syntax

[mverzilli]

Syntax error in zzz: expecting token '=>', not ':'

    sc = { A: 0, C: 0, G: 0, T: 0 }

Can I add support for this syntax?

my opintion, that's good if you can add support fot it.

Hi! Yes, I agree, this should be supported. I just fixed it: the fix was so simple that I preferred to do it myself.

Anyway, we are still not sure hashes with symbol keys will be very useful in Crystal, but for now we'll have them for consistency (ruby 1.9 hash syntax was supported, but only for lowercase symbols).
