Only if it's not a keyword at all, lest you complicate parsing. 
You wouldn't want any other keyword (I dunno, int?) get a special 
treatment now, would you?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for allowing to use "body" as an 
identifier in user code, I just don't see any half-measures in 
that regard :)
