On a scale from 0 to 10, how much do you not like it?

Also, what alternative would you suggest for the following syntax, and
how would you avoid conflicts between the two initializer syntax variants?

    #declare MyFrobnitz = dictionary {
      "Foo" = 42,
      "Bar" = "FTW!"
    }

Bear in mind that it should be possible to replace the string literals
with arbitrary string expressions, including simple string identifiers.

Also bear in mind that the following syntax variants for individual
element access are to be considered (almost) a given:

    #declare MyFrobnitz.Foo = 42;
    #declare MyFrobnitz["Foo"] = 42;
