Vista - Should "script" be listed as a "reserved word"

I wonder if "script" should be added to the list of reserved words
found in the help file about_reserved_words.

One for Connect?

Given the recent post on the matter I think it should be. I wonder if
there's any other words that aren't on the reserved list thta should be?
Time for a complete check?

it's perfectly legal (and trouble-free) to have a variable called
$script, or a function called script. Your issue was "script:" e.g.
script-colon. global:, private: script: and local: all have the same
"problem." just avoid them. It's all a bit hairy though, I agree.
