It'd be a fairly small language solution, though. Most of the structure 
is already there.

Overall, I'm neutral on this proposal, since it would look nicer to use 
a context-sensitive keyword, but there are probably 1000 other things 
I'd rather see the committee spend their time on. Maybe when C++ is 
very-nearly perfect, we can come back to issues like this.
