Tucker,

I'm going to implement new keywords now.  Here's what I'm presuming
we're doing in the short term, needed to support devildog:

     final      on class, method    -- pass through for SWF9 only,  
else remove and warn?
     const      instead of var -- pass through for SWF9 only, else  
change to var and warn?
     dynamic    on class    -- pass through for SWF9 only, else  
remove and warn?
     override   on method   -- pass through for SWF9 only, else  
remove and warn?

Should I do these in trunk (effectively ignoring them for current  
targets),
so we can start using them right away?
It could help us keep a more integrated code base for lfc.
If so, do we want to warn on either first use, every use, or never?
Warning level could be an option too.  Any other keywords?
public, private?

- Don
