Actually, if we look at the list in 7.5.3, at the present time, I
would guess that
export interface class const import public
will be used by Harmony. Hedging bets, I remain glad that
abstract static extends super final native package implements
are reserved as well. The remainder
boolean long byte synchronized
char float throws goto private transient
protected volatile double enum int short
I am less keen on. But neither has their reservation been terribly
costly. In my judgment, the mileage of the future reserved words
approach has been worth its minor cost. YMMV!
