If it was noticeably faster, I was going to suggest 'f'
and 'p' instead, but I like your idea better. Braces!!!

proc and func is still very readable, and if it gives a speed increase, why
not adopt it?

procedure do_nuttin()
end procedure

proc do_nuttin()
end proc

If we could get a 50% speed increase over current behavior, wouldn't that
be wunnerful?!?! 8)
