You can due to global object aliasing.
var thi\u0073 = 42;
alert([this.this === 42, // Look ma, no escaping!
this["this"] === 42]); // Look ma, still no escaping!
works in Firefox.
The first is legal because MemberExpression is defined as
MemberExpression . IdentifierName
not
MemberExpression . Identifier
and it is only Identifier that is not allowed to be a reserved word
Identifier :: IdentifierName but not ReservedWord
IdentifierName :: IdentifierStart
| IdentifierName IdentifierPart
