Named Arrow Functions

[Daniel Ehrenberg]

In addition to being hard to parse in general, I don't think this
would play very well with the async/await proposal
https://tc39.github.io/ecmascript-asyncawait/ , which wants to have
arrow functions like

async (x) => ...

Because we can't count on async as a keyword, your proposal would
create an ambiguity.
