OK.  I don't anticipate needing {:key val} myself anytime soon; I was
just trying to future-proof the syntax, and I don't want to lobby for it
if you feel strongly that this is problematic.

If there are others (John? Aaron? Samuel?) who think they really need
the {:key val} syntax *over and above* a subtype designation, please
speak up!

Best,
Richard
