Totally agree, but if these scripts are indeed breaking there's something
else going on, and it might look like a simple keyword change but could be a
deeper issue.

But does that makes sense? Simply compiling the broken script will reveal
which terms need to be changed, and using AS formatting will reveal which
application key words are used in a script.
Generating a list of keywords to avoid using when choosing variable names
that might conflict doesn't seem practical.
I'd echo the suggestions for more bulletProof variable names.
