Would it be possible, hypothetically speaking, to make the parser
digest something like:

    def bla do(x, y=1, z=2)
        ...
    end

and (maybe instead of or additionally to the experimental -> syntax)

    a = arr.map def(x, y=1) ... end

    fn = def(x, y=1) ... end

or

    a = arr.map do(x, y=1) ... end

    fn = do(x, y=1) ... end

I personally am not very fond of curly braces, vertical bars, and
arrows. Maybe it's because I learned Pascal first.
