I think there are several issues at hand, and they need to be
dealt with individually:
1. `body` is a very useful identifier. It would be nice to have
it available.
2. Contract syntax is too verbose.
3. a. Some people think code looks better with a keyword, e.g.
`body`, `do`, etc. distinguishing the function from the
contracts.
3. b. Other people think that such a keyword is unnecessarily
redundant and does not justify its own existence.
I think the thread will be more productive if the posters
commit to answering just one of these issues, and reserve other
issues for other threads. As the DIP in question is directly
meant to address issue #1, it makes sense to try to solve that
problem and only that problem here.
I made a related DIP discussing issue 2, contract syntax is too
verbose. The thread for discussing that one is here:
