No problems. Although it becomes required if you want to put a
statement on the same line:
branch state
on State.On: print 'on'
on State.Off: print 'off'

A little bit, but the static+dynamic support which people often
attribute to Boo actually comes from my old Objective-C days.

There is some "old style" Cobra code in the compiler which would give
a false impression of current coding style and features. Also, there
are just a few more warts that I wish to remove. It doesn't have to be
