We could force the class variables to come before any method.  That
would still have problems in the "extend" case.

I also thought about restricting the grammar to have a constant on the
right side.  This would simplify exporting to other dialects.  However,
there is really no restriction because you can use ##(...) to treat
anything as a constant.

So in the end it is really a case of "if it hurts, don't do it"...
