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?

Keywords can't be declarations, labels, etc.
