 Labels are in a name space independent of declarations, variables,
 types, etc. Even so, labels cannot have the same name as *local*
 declarations.

Is a *local* declaration the opposite of an imported declaration?

"debug" isn't a *local* declaration, thus the following code is -
according to my reading of the docs - legal, whereas the compiler
rejects it:

void test(){
debug:
	int dummy;
	goto debug;
}

This seems a bid odd and could a source for hard to track bugs.

Maybe all keywords from
http://digitalmars.com/d/lex.html#keyword
should be disallowed as label identifiers?

Isn't it always implied that keywords cannot be used for purposes other 
than what they are meant for?
