So I want to run an AppleScript similar to this one:

tell current track
  set export to {name:name, album:album, artist:artist}
end tell

Which works just fine, except what is returned is an array ['name:name', 'album:album', etc], rather than a keyed hash.

I've had a look at applescript-parser.js and I think UndefinedParser currently the best place for this:

  while (!END_OF_TOKEN.test(cur)) {
    if (cur === ':') {
      var key = this.value.substring(this.index, end-1);
      this.index = end;
      var value = parseFromFirstRemaining.call(this);
      return {key: key, value: value};
    }
    cur = this.value[end++];
  }

Then, in ArrayParser:

    if (next.key) {
      rtn[next.key] = next.value;
    } else{
      rtn.push(next);
    }

This does need more work though, because it won't determine if rtn should be an array or hash and that creates issues later.
