I don’t think a keyword will work. The problem is that UAs throw the other declarations away when they see a new one in the same scope. It's impossible to know whether the new one will ever use that keyword so they can keep the old ones around too. Perhaps the solution is to somehow tell the UA "keep old declarations around, don't replace them with this one". Perhaps a `!`-token, e.g. `!transient`.
