Name Syntax

In SARL, the names of the features (agents, variables, fields, etc.) cannot be one of the keywords of SARL or Java. For example, since event is a keyword in SARL, the following is illegal:

import io.sarl.event.ActionEvent

To solve this problem (since some names come from Java, and this language has different keywords than SARL), it is possible to prefix the name fragment with the character ^:

import io.sarl.^event.ActionEvent
