C# has that handy
@classway to use a keyword as an identifier. I wonder if there is any punctuation left that PowerShell could use for this?msftrncs commentedon Mar 10, 2019
I wouldn't think PowerShell needs a special character. I think PowerShell's general concept of context serves better. Pretty much all the useful keywords have no other use in
class { }. Onlyhiddenandstaticwould truly be reserved. Evenbaseonly has a very specific context it can be used in.
