I don't think that we can or should take care of relatively dumb
things like this. Anyone who's programmed for any decent period of
time knows about keyword naming conflicts. The fact that you *can*
get away with it sometimes does not mean you should be able to all
the time. If you know you have a database with "bad" names in it,
you're going to have problems with any tool, not just Dabo.
