This causes all sorts of problems, though. If you conflate the language's symbol table with a data structure managed by the language (ie, a hash or dict) then suddenly you have the same problems as JS did for ages. I can't put a '__init__' or ' ' in my key names anymore, or any of the other special cases. Best to leave them as hash keys.
