1) Make it contextual
2) Replace it with another keyword (`function` was suggested
in the DIP, `do` in this thread).
3) A three-stage process of removal: make it optional, then
deprecate it, then remove it completely (meaning, no keyword,
reserved or contextual, is required for the function body in a
contract).
Option 4) Keep `body`, but make it both contextual *and*
optional. It becomes usable as an identifier, and those who think
it's unnecessary are appeased. The downside is that different
programmers will include it or not, based on arbitrary
preferences.
