Of course not (and I know we use import in a few places in ZF) which is =
why I want to see whether it makes sense to allow reserved words. The =
basic parsing rule would be easy but we need to check how many other =
areas this might affect. Wouldn't want to introduce any more =
inconsistencies. If it ends up being too much of a bother we can just =
end up using "use".
