Sorry, that would be a breaking change to the language, not an extension. The
rules for identifier resolution are exquisitely balanced, and cannot be
compatibly extended in this way.
// $ javac Foo.java && java Foo
// String! and String2!
class Foo {
public static void main(String... args) {
String String = "String!";
String String2 = "String2!";
System.out.println(String + (String)" and "+ String2);
}
}
