You can use [lua_code_formatter](search at github) as
transpiler for such stuff.

Just change input grammar for "function" definition and
"if", "for", "while", "do" constructs. Alternatively you
can modify it to produce "end  -- function" instead "end".

So this wishes may easily be implemented.

I don't think they have long-term perspectives. But it
may be fun to create private fork of language with
personal tweaks.
