There seems to be little pushback on the idea of a better way to name/re=
ference functions, so an RFC page for that seems reasonable.  What the s=
yntax is, that's still in heavy bikeshed territory, so maybe don't name =
the RFC based on the implementation detail yet. :-)

I'd love to get some input from Nikita or Dimitry or someone else with w=
ay more parser experience on how feasible any of the options discussed s=
o far would be; if some are vastly more straightforward than others, tha=
t carries a lot of weight.
