That particular aspect of Javascript syntax is basically a mistake
from its original design. Different parsers may be more lenient.
(There's no good reason for the syntax for object constants { x : y,
... } to forbid reserved words on the left side of the colons, because
there's no ambiguity as to the meaning of the construct.
That said, I don't know exactly what the story here is.
