There is no need to propose any automatic insertion of quotes

contrary to the behaviour observed. For example:-

- is a syntax error but:-

var x = {
'x-y':5
};

- is not. The first being a mathematical expression in a context
that only allows for Identifiers, string literals and numeric
literals, while the second is a numeric literal.
^^^^^^^
Do you mean "string"?

Yes I did.

As for the rest, thank you for your patient explanations. One can
only hope something of it gets through to him.

Pigs may fly. ;-)
