syntax changes
==============
replace "here"
--------------
This keyword might be confusing and is probably unnessecary.
Current syntax:
typedef here = (int x, int y);
Alternative 1 - Remove keyword:
typedef = (int x, int y);
// cons:
// can't create forward definition (but can use "private")
// can't create variables and functions with "here".
Alternative 2 - Replace with namespace:
typedef namespace = (int x, int y);
change "own" keyword
--------------------
It's ugly, occupies a lot of space (4 chars) and not obvious that it should
be placed on the pointer. Note that it's not possible to use binary operators,
such as "*" for this purpose.
// <> = owned pointer
// ^ = unowned pointer
var thing<> t = :new();
string^ s = t.get_name();
t.free();
keyword renames
---------------
Some keywords can be shortened:
typedef --> type
undefined --> undef
