At this point I think the best way is to reserve the keywords for
typehints, and not the only 4, but also for resource and null. And work
towards making typehints in 7.1.
Rushing things like it's now never lead to any good results. And that
dual-mode RFC is re-incarnation of the register_globals, just in a
different way. But essentially will make the same mess.
