Part of the point of the proposal is to be able to use existing keywords (at least, I thought it was).
Mainly it's so that *new* keywords can be added to the language without breaking old code. Nobody is going to want to turn one of the currently existing keywords into a name.
I'm a worried that we're speaking about making it *easier* to add new keywords. The language doesn't need a C++-like destiny, IMHO, where the language definition becomes increasingly bloated by piling up syntactical features. Regards Antoine.
