Description:
------------
While "keywords" and "language constructs" cannot be used as function names, I
find myself with the need to have a function in my class named "unset", I also see that
list is a very common and useful term.

After the introduction of classes and namespaces it's time to look at enabling usage of these
common terms in classes and namespaces.



Test script:
---------------
<?php
namespace whatever;
class unsetTest{
	function unset($whatever){
		
	}
}

Expected result:
----------------
Happiness

Actual result:
--------------
//Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'unset' (T_UNSET), expecting identifier (T_STRING)
in E:\_www\x.php on line #
