[issue35383] lib2to3 raises ParseError on argument called "print"

I disagree that this is "not a bug". While conversion from 2 to 3 is 2to3's 
main intention, the documentation advertises:

2to3 supporting library lib2to3 is, however, a flexible and generic library, so 
it is possible to write your own fixers for 2to3. lib2to3 could also be adapted 
to custom applications in which Python code needs to be edited automatically.
(https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/2to3.html#module-lib2to3)

And it is used for other purposes. See
- this sphinx bug: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/1641
- bower: https://pybowler.io/docs/basics-refactoring

[issue35383] lib2to3 raises ParseError on argument called "print"

Also `print("a", file=sys.stderr)` *is* valid python2 provided that 
`print_function` is imported.
