Well, first, it is a keyword in Delphi too. Next, you cannot safely assume
that anyone offering a Thrift API will test all languages implemented today if
they work with the curent names you use in your IDL. And you cannot look into
the future and foresee what language Apple or Google or whoever else comes
around next week which may use "bonkType" as a keyword. So we have to deal with
it. One way to do it is like the C# generator does it (look for
`csharp_keywords`). The only bad thing about it is that we still have no common
mechanism that is used by all generators. Today all generators more or less
implement it their own way. I still have it on my list and some day I'll start
working on it and finally consolidate that stuff.
