There were discussions in the newsgroup in the past. In brief it is bad
practice to have the language introduce identifiers automatically in select
places. Essentially that makes the identifiers de facto keywords because you
shouldn't use them as regular identifiers - they could always be shadowed.

Searching the title of the newgroup for "length" shows many related
conversations.
