I vote we reject this DIP. It has clear appeal but there's also the 
issue with putting currently correct code on a deprecation path, with no 
obvious win in quality.

I think Walter's fix eliminates the problem during the semantic pass 
even though there's a grammar ambiguity. It's a judgment call, and by 
definition someone has to make it.
