Agenda

• field and value as contextual keywords
  • Usage in nameof
  • Should value be a keyword in a property or indexer get? Should field be a keyword in an indexer?
  • Should field and value be considered keywords in lambdas and local functions within property accessors?
  • Should field and value be keywords in property or accessor signatures? What about nameof in those spaces?
• Dictionary expressions

The story may be different if special symbols are used for these contextual keywords, like $value $field.
We certainly don't go through this path, but it may be interesting to think about.

We have no intention of doing that. We are explicitly moving forward with the breaking change version.
