   Interestingly only English speakers have such problems. In one of my   
   first IS lessons we've been encouraged to use natural (German) words   
   for identifiers all over, to prevent such problems. Obeying this   
   simple rule I never noticed even the existence of the keyword problem,   
   in all my COBOL code :-)   
      
   Now I wonder why APL then wasn't the big breakthrough, eliminating any   
   possible clashes with natural languages ;-)
