Thanks for that. I also noticed another one: #tag

This is used in version control format. It may be that they have reserved it so as it to simplify parsing of .rbbas files.


Of course, since identifiers in RB can't start with a pound sign anyway, there isn't any functional difference I can see between "reserved" and "not reserved" compiler directives.

Best,
