That'd require coming up with such list of "known bad" variable names,
and generally I don't think blacklisting is very effective.

It's relatively easy to invent a breaking name, but hard to enumerate
them all.

Anyway, that's a superset of my original proposal, so I'm fine if
someone wants to experiment with it.
