Good question!

(which is why I post this to tech-talk, too).

The answer is: Yes, it will still work.

The change I am planning is restricted to built-in functions (those that start
with "pv...", such as "pvSync" which are called at runtime). The "assign",
"monitor", "sync", and "syncq" are keywords that introduce special syntax and
are not affected at all.

Cheers
Ben
