Unlikely. The ":" or "as" or whatever is simply /noise/ -- something 
that is primarily optional for the underlying parser. It does depend on 
the parser, but DMD is an RD variety so can handle it without issue. In 
other words, whatever goes in there is not really a keyword in the 
traditional sense?
