'true' vs true ?

[gtoal]

This came up when trying to compile the x8algol compiler. Here's a minimal version of the problem:

'begin'
  'integer' fred, true;
  'Boolean' jim;
  true := 42;
  fred := true;
  jim := 'true';
'end';

This gives a compile error. Variable true seems to be clashing with keyword true.

Addendum: It appears to happen only when using 'Boolean' rather than 'boolean'. It may be my fault from the change I made when you added the capitalised Boolean - I updated just the operator_e file rather than downloading the entire compiler again - if your update changed some other part of the compiler in addition, then I may not have updated everything necessary?

Right now I am traveling, I'll handle this as soon as I am back
