Yes.
Technically speaking, `send(:if)` is used instead of local_variable_get if the local variable is not defined.

In the meeting just after RubyKaigi, someone pointed out that `{if:}[:if]` is faster than `binding.local_variable_get(:if)`.

```
excelsior:ruby$ cat bm.rb
require "benchmark"

Benchmark.bmbm do |b|
  ->(if:) {
    b.report("binding.local_variable_get") do
      10000.times do
        binding.local_variable_get(:if)
      end
    end
    b.report("new hash syntax") do
      10000.times do
        {if:}[:if]
      end
    end
  }.call(if: 123)
end
excelsior:ruby$ ./ruby bm.rb

Feature #14579: Hash value omission
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14579#change-93673

----------------------------------------
How about to allow value omission in Hash literals:

```ruby
x = 1
y = 2
h = {x:, y:}
p h #=> {:x=>1, :y=>2}
```

And in keyword arguments:

```ruby
def login(username: ENV["USER"], password:)
  p(username:, password:)
end

login(password: "xxx") #=> {:username=>"shugo", :password=>"xxx"}
```
