I think (
http://forum.dlang.org/post/kybywnscisxpebezw...@forum.dlang.org ) represents yet another distinct option. i.e. continue to allow `body`, but make it optional, that is, you can simply omit it if you want, while also allowing it as an identifier.
This is pretty much the same as option 2. The short-term
contextual part is covered by Walter's suggestion.
No it's not. What MysticZach suggests, and what I suggested even
earlier [0] is to make 'body' contextual and optional which is
very different than replacing it with another keyword. The main
difference is that it would make code that uses contracts cleaner
and there would be no breakage. In contrast, deprecating 'body'
is a breaking change.
IMO, option 2 and variations of it are *the worst* way forward.
