I thought we had nuked word as being hard to define consistently 
(especially across languages). I also thought we had always had 
functional syntax, like

@char(45)
@string(hi there)

I prefer the functional syntax mainly because it makes it clear how 
to have a multi-argument grain (like char(45, 10) to get length -- 
which would be nice). It also would let us make the syntax in all 
three parts parallel.

Am working my way down the mail, so ignore this if already resolved...
