Quote from section "Keywords":

	If a name would conflict with a keyword, and it is desirable to
	use the keyword rather than pick a different name, a single
	underscore ‘_’ should be appended to it.

This is just a recommendation, of course. But at least you wouldn't have
to invent new words for your identifiers.
