The only reason C# allows this is for interop or code
generation for other languages that use the same keyword. For
example "class" is an HTML attribute.
There is no excuse to do this for any other reason -- and C#
gurus would also agree.

Then don't name them as keywords :)
I used twice a similar system (&<keyword>) that exists in ObjFPC.
The context was a RTTI inspector and allowed to have enum members
displayed without using a prefix or a translation table. Just to
say, it's rarely useful but nice to have.
I would have preferred #<keyword> so much more that the "body" ->
"do" change, which was a bad decision because focused on a
detail. You mentioned "class"...
