Yes the fact that D is context free is a very nice benefit and I 
can pretty much guarantee that D maintainers will never allow 
changing the syntax to break this.

However, I believe a context-free grammar could support 
"contextual keywords".  Note that the word "contextual" here is a 
bit misleading.  For someone who really wanted to remove body as 
a keyword, I encourage them to try to modify the syntax and see 
if they can maintain the "context-free" grammar and without over 
complicating the syntax.  I'm not sure if it's possible, but it 
might be.  Anyone up for the challenge?
