Sort of. It's not even really technically a problem with destructuring; we could allow that, but it would be useless, because you'd never be able to refer to them.

This has nothing to do with modules. Adding a reserved word is *always* backwards-incompatible because someone could already be using it as a variable. Modules don't change this situation at all.

Almost.

    module Reflect from "@reflect";

You only use "import" to pull out exports from inside a module. (We've been experimenting with alternative syntaxes, btw. I'll report back on that soon.)
