 Specifically, the syntax for a `resource` definition is:
 ```ebnf
 resource-item ::= 'resource' id ';'
-                | 'resource' id '{' ( external-id? resource-method )* '}'
+                | 'resource' id '{' ( gate external-id? resource-method )* '}'
 resource-method ::= func-item

                   | 'constructor' param-list ';'
 ```
 
+As with the items of a `world` or an `interface`, the methods of a `resource`

 non-`static` `func-item`.
