I'm sure it could be done, but it may impact existing Python grammar.
So backward compatibility might mean making certain words "keywords"
in contexts where they otherwise wouldn't be, and then just throwing
SyntaxError because it would have been ambiguous.

But even if it's possible, I don't think it's desirable.
