<overview>
<p>
The ECMAScript standard defines a list of future keywords that should not be used as identifiers.
While they may be accepted by current implementations, they may no longer be supported in the future,
so it is best not to rely on them.
</p>

</overview>
<recommendation>

<p>
Rename the identifier in question.
</p>

</recommendation>
<example>

<p>
In the following code snippet, <code>package</code> is used as a variable name. Since <code>package</code>
is a future reserved word, the variable should be renamed, for instance to <code>pkg</code>.
