"value AS name", on the other hand, accomplishes the same in a more SQL-looking fashion with no new reserved word (since AS is already fully reserved).would it be more natural / SQL-like to use "value AS name" or "name AS value" ?
IMHO, *natural* would be name *something* value, because that's how every other language I've seen does it.
SQL-like would be value AS name, but I'm not a fan of putting the value before the name. And I think value AS name will just lead to a ton of confusion.
Since I think it'd be very unusual to do a => (b => c), I'd vote that we just go with =>. Anyone trying to do a => b => c should immediately question if that would work.
