Compiler reserved words

Feature Spec

The Wing compiler now detects reserved words, such as this, static, private, etc. It is not possible to use these words as variable names, etc.

• Throw error when a reserved word is used out of place.
• The full list of reserved words should also appear on the winglang spec.

Use Cases

Right now, this compiles:

let this = 1;

Instead I'd expect an error message:

let this = 1;
//   ^^^Cannot use reserved word
