Is this a discussion about the "X-" thing, or something else entirely?

If we have a version number and a list of reserved words, we can append 
to the list of reserved words at a version bump.

As far as conflicts during upgrading:  I'm in the "deal with it" camp.

But what's wrong with throwing them the !~ m/^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$/ bone and 
keeping the future reserved words within that constraint?  Everything 
else is "something else".

(And, didn't I say that already?  tap, tap... is this thing on?)
