Me too.  There was an RFC for javascript-style object literals which I was really excited about, but it was pretty much shot down.  I was going to try to make a patch for it, but never found enough time to dig into how the parser works.

I'm excited about Traits.  http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php  It removes the need for multiple levels of subclassing in some cases.
