💻 Code

const type = 'x'

type satisfies string // '=' expected.(1005)

🙁 Actual behavior

Gives an '=' expected.(1005) error.

🙂 Expected behavior

For it to work like with any other variable of any other name, specially since it's a common variable name.

Additional information about the issue

This also happens with other TypeScript keywords like interface.

If I wrap type in parenthesis it works, is this expected behaviour? The Deno formatter removes it (prettier handles it correctly), should I report this to them.
