What kind of code are you writing where you have to type @ multiple times per line?

    id map = @{ @"my key": @123};

Of course, in Java, this would look like (at best, using a third party thing):

ImmutableMap.builder().put("my key", 123).build();

Which hardly seems neater (especially in a more realistic case where you have more than one entry).

The point was the pain to type @ in keyboards other than US.

Surely you're not doing that anywhere close to every line.
