Code that quotes all of its identifiers, such as with:

This doesn't help in the least if the array is an expression rather than simply a variable - we're not going to start quoting expressions.

I wrote that wrong. I should have said "array_var" not "array_expr". I am certainly not advocating quoting expressions, and didn't mean to imply that here. My point was that if a token is always interpreted as a keyword rather than an identifier when there is ambiguity, then quoting would let users name an identifier "each" or "EACH". In any event, I will not push this since it doesn't address the real issue of language changes not breaking the general case of legacy code; it only says how users can insulate themselves. -- Darren Duncan
