  What is wrong with this code? Can the {} syntax not have idents?

  ..., "ceil", ceil, "floor", floor }

  The error message you should have gotten is "expected colon-separated entry in table expression but got "ceil"" or something.

  It's so easy to improve these error messages, I don't know why it's such a rare area of contribution
