I think you forgot super, and maybe thisContext.
Compiler assume they are variables because it searches for variables, and they
are regularly constructed id made of letters...
Do you mean that true false nil should be detected as literals at Scanner
level (tokenization) ?
If literals true, false, nil or variables self, super, thisContext should
always take precedence over arguments and temporaries,
then such arguments would be inaccessible...
IMO, all these tricky constructs would better be forbidden with a hack in the
compiler...
