[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20071115-lou-5 Summary: Document reserved words in 4.x

[P T Withington]

Please _don't_ merge this list with the ecmascript chapter.  The  
ecmascript chapter should be confined to talking about script.

This list is not really a list of reserved words.  It is a list of the  
defined classes and class attributes in the LFC.  They are not  
reserved, in that you can freely clobber them if you must... although  
you risk breaking the LFC if you do.

The ecma reserved words are for script and they really are reserved.   
The compiler will complain if you try to use one of those reserved  
words as an identifier.  (We really should not need this list, since  
it is just the es3 list.  We should just have a list of the reserved  
words we have added, which should be just one: 'mixin'.)
