Should the func keyword be changed to fun?

[Bill Cox]

Rust uses fn, which to me seems a bit short.  Go uses fun, which sounds more fun.  Rune currently uses func, which sounds funky.  Does anyone have strong feelings about the keyword to defined a function?

I think go uses `func` doesn't it?

I don't see a major difference either way between `func` and `fn`, both are good readable keywords. `fun` seems less desirable to me because it collides with the word "fun" which takes slightly more mental overhead to process. Perhaps there's some psychological benefit to writing that word over and over, but I have no way to quantify or back that speculation up.

I have a slight preference for using `func` over `fn` because that way `fn` can be used as a local variable.

SGTM.  Func it remains.
