Ouch!

I personally doubt that Mercury will become mainstream in the
way that Java, C++, C# etc. are.

Learning Mercury requires taking on board a coding style and
set of concepts that mainstream languages generally only pay 
lip service to.  This makes me think that it's fine to pick 
a readily understandable keyword rather than buy into the 
unfortunate tradition of C++, Java, C#...
