Document Simplified Names on Anonymous Types page

[KyleMit]

It would be helpful to see the official feature / syntax / name / description of using the simplified anonymous type syntax

For example the following anonymous object syntax:

var firstName = "Kyle";
var lastName = "Mit";
var person = { firstName, lastName };

Which is essentially equivalent to:

var person = { firstName = "Kyle", lastName = "Mit"};

Not sure what this feature is called: implicit property names / inferred names / simple names?

For Tuples, this is called Infer tuple names (aka. tuple projection initializers) and came out in C# 7.1 and referenced on the Tuple types page
