I think we could probably get better syntax highlighting without
keywords if somebody took that on.

My general lack of enthusiasm for this is that this offers syntactical
variation without any practical advantages either way.  This means that
some people will choose one syntax, and others will choose the other,
and we get code churn when people "correct" the code from one to
another.
