A popular editor uses highlighting to help programmers avoid using C++ keywords in Java. The following words are displayed using the same colors as a syntax error:
auto delete extern friend inline redeclared register signed sizeof
struct template typedef union unsigned operator
Why would this be considered important?
To avoid confusion. The largest migration path in the entire industry over the last 15 years was from C++ to Java. Thus, it would be wise to avoid using those words in a new context where they no longer mean anything.
