I've never been quite sure how to participate in the use-livecode digest 
so I'll give this email address a try. 

     I see discussions lately about the fact that Live-Code has used the best 
part of the English language for reserved words. 

     I've built a compiler which is a "shell" over the IDE and, of course, has 
it's own name space. That really compounds the problem. However, using the IDE 
editor there's a very easy work-around. If I type an identifier, and it comes 
up in any color but black I simply add a period, and it becomes "unique". I 
don't need to remember which ones have periods, and which don't because the 
editor reminds me every time. There are other special characters which will 
work (_?`@#$'), but the period is easy to hit and doesn't require the shift key.
