oops, :name does break things, e.g
if x :return
So, it could be ::name or |name or &name or !name or whatever.

I agree with the idea, but a far less radical change is needed to get the
desired result.
The basic idea is this: it should be possible to use any name as an identifier
in the syntax, including names
like 'while' and 'import'. But there is no need to mess up the entire language
to allow this
(either by quoting all the identifiers, perl-style, or by marking the
keywords).
All that is needed is something like this:
foo = 7
:foo = 7 # exactly like foo=7
...
