Probably not, but I fear it's going to be a lot of work - at least when
I do it.

Yes, I thought about suggesting that. But considering that that makes
single variable declarations of functions/object literals look weird, I

j2-mode, perhaps that's an option. But I'd personally prefer the clever
solution.
