There is an esoteric hash literal construct possible in the Ruby grammar:

{:a==>1}

Looking at ((<parse.y|URL:https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/731e45216ae4adf4122f0515d3056e1579efb0f9/parse.y#L8408-8418>)), I am pretty sure this is intended behavior, but I wanted to make sure that this is so.

Well trained rubyist will see a setter-like property symbol :a=.
