Yes I think this also is a nice solution. In this case, however, one has
to choose a syntax that does not allow mixing of "new semantics
parameters" with "old semantics parameters" and one should advertise about
the new syntax to avoid lazy usage of old construct.

I view sadly the fact of having a nice brand new language in which there
are constructs that are not (from a "purist" perspective) the best thing
one could have.
