Hi!

There is a variable in my code called package, it would be great if I would be allowed to write this in coffescript. Compilation could then rename this to something thats not reserved.

Any thoughts?

Duplicate of #1452, which was closed with this comment:

It breaks API compatibility with JavaScript: JS cannot reference a variable, or call a function, by the same name that CoffeeScript identifies it with. You would never want to write a library that took advantage of this feature.
