Very uncool - no implicit structure creation within function calls

I am using more and more features provided by CF8 as we migrate our servers to this new system. One feature I love is the implicit creation of structures without the need of calling StructNew() all the time.
So - a major downside is that you cannot create structures using this way within functions calls ... very bad. An example:

a_component.StoreInformation( key = arguments.key, data = { firstname= a_str_firstname } )

Very uncool, same thing noticed by Ben
