SUggestion for improved LiveCode scripting notation

[Mike Bonner]

While not the same thing as you are talking about, when I write scripts I
use the "on" form for lc commands and handlers and any that are created
soley by me I use the "command" form.  This way it only takes a glance to
know which are mine and which are built in.
