I'm opposed to both option 2 and option 3 on the basis that they are
both plain ugly (also, breaking), 2 is verbose, 3 is ambiguous. (Doing
nothing is much better than 2 or 3.)
For option 1, the "on the basis that they will complicate the parser"
argument is weak. Just lex 'body' as an identifier and expect to see
that identifier in the parser. TOKbody occurs 4 times in DMD's parser,
all of them are trivial to replace.
