Create an environment and assign objects to it in one go?

Hi,

I've just created:

newEnvEval <- function(..., hash=FALSE, parent=parent.frame(), size=29L) {
 envir <- new.env(hash=hash, parent=parent, size=size);
 evalq(..., envir=envir);
 envir;
} # newEnvEval()

so that I can create an environment and assign objects to it in one go, e.g.

env <- newEnvEval({ a <- 1; b <- 2; });
print(env$a);

Does this already exists somewhere?

I think 

env <- local({ a <- 1; b <- 2; environment()})
env$a

PS.
