I really like the idea!

I bet that there is already many code "renaming" the parameters so I
agree with Nikita to match it against the called instance (and not the
initial declaration).

As for the open questions I would prefer something from the "can use
keywords" section.
I think one with the dollar sign would be best since thats how the
declaration looks like, e.g. "$foo => xxx" or "$foo: ...".
