Instead of verbatim identifiers, how about a special comment giving the
Python version in which the file was written?
There could then be a tool similar to 2to3 that converts the file to a
more recent version of Python that might have new reserved words. In
most cases the new file would merely be a copy of the original, but with
an updated Python version.
