Keywords are highlighted even when preceded by .

[TrevorBurnham]

Say the object obj has the property return. (Hey, I didn't choose it.) Then the line

obj.return = 1

compiles just fine, but the word return is highlighted like a keyword. Likewise for any other keyword. Obviously one could type obj['return'], but it would be nice to have accurate highlighting for the dot syntax.

I'm afraid you can't do that in all JavaScripts. Quoth the Webkit Inspector:

> obj = {};
Object
> obj.return = 1;
SyntaxError: Parse error

I think that having the "return" highlight as a keyword, letting you know you're making a mistake, is a very good thing to have. Closing the ticket.
