Modules Question

We would probably make it a contextual keyword so you could still use it in non-expression contexts (e.g., to the right of '.' and left of ':' in object literals), but unless we played some clever tricks, which I'm not sure would be worth it, using it as an identifier would be a syntax error. Harmony will be opt-in, though, so this won't cause existing code to break unless the author explicitly changes the language; at which point they would get an early error and have the opportunity to rename the identifiers.
