it's akin to
making:

It is in the compiler. It is actually not valid syntax anymore
(disallowed by
grammar and caught by the parser).
When I said I thought it was already in the compiler, I meant the
bizarro function type declaration, not the empty if statement.
I should clarify once again :)
I meant the *change to remove* the bizarro function type declaration. I
thought that was already decided and in the compiler (Don had a whole
thread on this).
