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.
