But yeah, using "version" for this purpose makes the very 
common identifier "version" unavailable for use.  I've been 
bitten by this multiple times.

        auto version = getVersion();    // NG
        auto ver = getVersion();        // OK

        struct PacketHeader {
                ushort version;         // NG
                ushort ver;             // OK
        }

C code also uses `in`, `out` and `with` as identifiers.

I think, with some funny escape sequences we can do without any 
keyword at all:
        \1(all) { ... }
        \1(none) { ... }
        \1(Posix) { ... }
        \1(Windows) { ... }
        \5 version = getVersion();
        \2 PacketHeader {
                \6 version;
        }
