Topic: ✔ Perhaps use JavaScript structuring/destructuring?

I'm just curious here about the choice of { something & propToModify = fooBar }
Why not use javascript style syntax of {...oldModel, someProp = someThing }
Would also allow for updating nested data more easily, which for me, has always been a painpoint in Elm that needs multiple steps of local variables.
Maybe good reasons to avoid this syntax?

we want to have { oldModel & foo.bar: fooBar } already, not sure what advantages JS syntax would bring beyond that
