Given that, in this particular situation, the IDE is going to ignore my
use of "msg" as a parameter variable name, would it make any sense for
the compiler to flag this as a likely problem?
I'm not sure you expect the IDE to *know* that you didn't intend call the
message box versus making a script error. Sure, the context could be gauged
to some extent, but perhaps you *did* intend to call the message box and
simply made a contextual script error in the remainder of your code.
The IDE can *know* that it's an error because the reserved token "msg"
was used as a formal parameter name
on mouseUp msg
The IDE cannot know at the usage of that formal parameter (e.g. put
"abc" into msg), but it can, and should, know at the handler / parameter
declaration. (Some other reserved words already produce an error
message, e.g.
on mouseUp seconds
gives the error "Handler: not a valid parameter name"
