[nem-en] 0000898: 'int' treated as an identifier even ifusedwithout verbatim specifier (@)

[Kamil Skalski]

In general this is useful to redefine constant variables:

def x = "1,2,3";
def x = x.Split (',');
def x = x.Map (int.Parse);
def x = x.FoldLeft (0, _ + _);

In case of redefining type name... this is quite common also in C# and
adding new type names should not in general break code using their
names as variable names:

create code:
///
def  Foo = "aa";
///

then after a week add:
///
class Foo { }
///

--->  oh, we now get compile error in weird places, which does not
have any connection with Foo
