Kitchen Sink Language and local keywords

The Kitchen Sink Language (or ksl) is open here : ksl.dev.java.net, so i hope that the next version of my prototype will be the ksl trunk.

Before trying to commit compiler patches that introduce local variable type inference or properties to the ksl trunk, i think i will write a small patch that enable the use of local keywords.

Local keywords

What is a local keyword ? A local keyword is a keyword that is only enabled at some locations in the grammar and that is considered as an identifier elsewhere.
It will ease anyone to introduce new keywords like property, indexer, dynamic or <insert your favorite keyword here>.

Just a word about properties, i have read lot of blogs about that, i have even dreamed about that this week end (a kind a nightmare in wich a property told me that she needs to be bound). So i have decided to take some rest.
