# =============================================================================
# rust-reserved-names — names spelled like reserved words of a target language
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • A Faber name is only a Faber name. `box`, `match`, `final`, `type`,
#     `yield` and `move` are ordinary identifiers here, and the program means
#     the same on every backend even where the target language reserves the
#     word (Rust reserves all six).
#   • The same name works as a field, a method, a parameter and a local.
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Renaming a name to dodge a target's reserved word — the compiler spells
#     it safely for each target.

    }
