Yup, this was always the case, and more than a bit silly:

integer integer = 1  
atom atom = 2.3 
string string = "four" 
...etc 

Of course after that (at least until they drop out of scope) you can't declare any more integers, atoms, or strings...

So, in pmain.e there were 30 uses of S_Rsvd, delivering "illegal use of a reserved word", that I thought I may as well piggy-back on, 7 of which should not be altered, and 23 that now have a preceding "N<=T_Asm or", or equivalent, so that sort of nonsense will flatly error out in the next release. No doubt a few things will snap, but it runs p -c p and p -test ok with those changes in.

Thanks.

PS Of course there will probably be a whole raft of programmers utterly outraged that I've taken away their right to dump on their own doorstep...
