The code looks reasonably clean now, although I noted one comment

ITYM

However, I'm still concerned about whether this approach gives
reasonable error messages in cases where the error would be
detected during parse analysis of the rearranged statement.
The regression test examples don't cover such cases, and I'm
too busy right now to apply the patch and check for myself.
What happens for example if a named parameter's value contains
a misspelled variable reference, or a type conflict?
