I feel it's better to add keywords like that than to over load keywords based on context. See the keyword const in C/C++.

Also better to trust the end used to decide what trade offs they want to make. For instance code that converts a user click to a database query, clean and understandable is more important than performance. If it takes 10ns or 10ms the user ain't going to know the difference.
