Absolutely.  That's how it's already worked.  The pragmata are lowercase module
names are reserved to the Core.  The type name is the class name, which 
is the package name, which is the module name, which is the pragma name.

Larry's already pre-documented int, num, and str, IIRC.

Predictable naming conventions are critical to knowing what is and
what is not reserved.  We actually have these conventions for
modules, variables, and functions already.  They're written down,
although maybe not all in one place.
