That said, I don't think it's a 'solution', I'm pretty sure there's a bug somewhere in this thread, but I'm not sure how the syntax should look... the problem seems rather complicated when considering declaring functions, declaring variables, and declaring function arguments which all overload the meaning of these keywords...
