I'm very surprised !

Far and Forward (reserved Keywords) can be used as property's names !

So can message, and I believe default, there are probably more.

They might be reserved words, but the context they can be used in is
small enough that there isn't a possible ambiguity with a property of
the same name.

Because of their limited contexts, any directive can be used as an
identifier (e.g. property, variable name, etc.).

In BDS2006 and later (maybe BDS2005 too?), any reserved word can be
used as an identifier by prefixing it with an ampersand (&).
