Yes, I suppose you could have another keyword.
In fact, a keyword is unnecessary, as long as classes are identified with the 'class' keyword, there's no need to tag type constructors too. This is the most minimal extension, and avoids both the confusion of referring to synonyms and datatypes in the same way, and taking a new keyword.
I assume we will also follow the suggestion on the page that the presence of a subordinate list distinguishes a type from a value constructor. that would allow us to uniquely identify everything needing only 'class' in export lists John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
