Since we all seem to expect that this won't be a painless transition:

 * is there any intention to go that path eventually?

 * should new code be written explicitly to be "lexical friendly"?
   (I'd expect most code to be , lexical friendly, and Miles seems to
   have tackled the titanic task with the core code anyway).

I'd imagine that the first step might be style recommendations, the next
would be some kind of checker pointing people to potential problems, and
after a while just jump...
