Visual Basic will allow you to reserved words as data member names. (Who
thought that was a good idea?)  The syntax is:

[ (<RESERVE WORD> | IDENTIFIER) ]

I thought that this technique would be a good solution.  It will at least
keep me from having to write something like the following:

[ (LOOP | IF | END | WHILE | DO| ... | IDENTIFIER) ]
