Then the lexer cannot tokenize the source without doing a parse. This
negatively impacts tools that need to do so like Ddoc.
Furthermore, it is confusing if one also has a typedef named 'as'.
Having keywords be distinct, and always distinct, from identifiers means
you can look at code and see what's an identifier and what's a keyword
without confusion.
