Finding the right keyword for new features (was "Re: Could we change the syntax for when clauses?")

[David Alayachew]

Makes a lot of sense Brian, ty. And I can certainly agree with the
@interface. Flexible as it is, it's one of the more confusing parts of the
language to interact with.

I definitely hear you now. You're saying that new language features should
be as seamless as possible because that cohesiveness facilitates learning
for beginners and experienced devs alike.

Lol, point taken #Rémi. Both of you are very much correct. I see the flaw
in the logic and how it is certainly not a good fit for the language. I'll
try and think my suggestions through more in the future.

But I must say, your code does not compile. :P

Thank you both for your time and help!
