body will not be "dekeyworded".

In hindsight, the choice of 'body' for the keyword is unfortunate. But 
fixing it would cause even worse problems, so I think we're stuck with it.

nobody told us what "worse problems" are. using "body" is not confusing, 
lowering it into identifier will not break any code, but... "worse 
problems" awaits.

i'm using patch that allows "body" as identifier for almost a year, i'm 
constantly building alot of projects from dub repo, and i haven't 
encountered any problems with it. but i believe that i'm simply doing 
something wrong and dragons are around the corner.
