That works for types but wouldn't work for keywords. Keywords
have special meaning in the lexical stage and you can't
extend/change the grammar of the language via an alias or
typedef. You could do something like this with a preprocessor
but then you run into all sorts of other problems (i.e. #define
safe @safe).
If you come up with other ideas then feel free to share. No
one likes the current state but no one has come up with a good
solution yet.
C++ added contextual keywords, like `override` and `final`. If
this can be done in C++, surely D is easier to parse?
