nboyd%atg.com b52f96cd91 Hi, Norris!
In our browser we need to support scripts that use as an identifier name future reserved keywords such as interface. The scripts are rather old and perfectly legal under previous revisions of EcmaScript which does not included the list of almost every Java keyword to the future reserve.

To support this I added an option to query Context.hasFeature for FEATURE_RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER:

    /**
     * if hasFeature(RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER) returns true,
     * treat future reserved keyword (see  Ecma-262, section 7.5.3) as ordinary
     * identifiers but warn about this usage
     */
    public static final int FEATURE_RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER = 3;

The corresponding code in TokenStream checks for it and issues just a warning when this feature is enabled.

I also think that it would be better not to return RESERVED as a token from TokenStream.getToken but report the specific syntax error immediately because it is very unclear from the error message:

js> x.interface = 1
js: "<stdin>", line 1: uncaught JavaScript exception: SyntaxError: missing name after . operator (<stdin>; line 1)
js: x.interface = 1
js: ..........^

what exactly went wrong. I can send a patch later for that.

Regards, Igor
