I want to conserve ? for future use as ssyntax.

What about =? This would make a lot of sense for optional parameters with defaults, because it signifies assigning to the parameter if it's not given.

Granted, it would make less sense for just-plain-optional params, but it would be easier to visually pick out of the param list than o.

But isn't it possible that you have foo?bar as ssyntax and a lone ? for other purpose?

But what if he wants to conserve the lone ? as well?

Well we can only speculate. He said he wants to reserve '?' for ssyntax, and I pointed out '?' in ssyntax and lone '?' can coexist. If he also reserve lone '?', that's his decision.
