Before we go down endlessly debating which keywords would work best to 
replace body here, can someone please inform the crowd why just having 
body remain as it is now, but *not* be a keyword is unworkable?

The more I think about it, the more I think that option 1 is the far far 
far superior option. Zero existing code breaks, and we now have access 
to our own body symbols (and we don't even have to go through a 
deprecation period). However, if there is a missing lynch pin that shows 
why this cannot work, then it's better to take it off the table now.
