Is this a discussion about the "X-" thing, or something else entirely?
If we have a version number and a list of reserved words, we can append
to the list of reserved words at a version bump.
As far as conflicts during upgrading: I'm in the "deal with it" camp.
But what's wrong with throwing them the !~ m/^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$/ bone and
keeping the future reserved words within that constraint? Everything
else is "something else".
(And, didn't I say that already? tap, tap... is this thing on?)
