Bug description:Allow reserved word 'list' to be used for namespaces (and classnames)

Description:
------------
Hi,

That 'list' is a reserved word is understandable. But also very
annoying. For you need it a lot. Almost any crud has one or more lists.

I have (abstract base) classes like:
\data\data\Data
\data\data\DataInterface
\data\data\DataFactory

\data\record\Record
\data\record\RecordInterface
\data\record\RecordFactory

and I need:
\data\list\List (or \data\list\ListData)
\data\list\ListInterface
\data\list\ListFactory

But those are impossible.....
So instead of list we now use: listdata\ListData
Which is not consistent in our way of naming.

Now I wanted to make:
\import\list\ImportList

But even this is impossible. 


https://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.keywords.php
Since 7.0 many "keywords are allowed as property, constant, and method
names".

It would be so nice if they would also be allowed as namespace. 

Greetz, flexjoly
