Closing since fixed on D2. Doesn't make sense for D1.

As of the end of this year, D1 will no longer be supported, so it will definitely never have cent or ucent unless someone forks it and continues to work on it, in which case, they can do whatever they want with it. But the official D1 compiler will never have cent or ucent, so there's no reason to worry about them for D1.

That's exactly why it makes no sense that D1 reserves the words at all.  So it certainly isn't a D2-only issue.  Still, maybe it isn't worth reopening it since D1 is about to be abandoned.

Yes, it's generally not to reserve identifiers which will never be used, but other languages have done it. For instance, Java reserves goto and const and never uses them. So, it's really not that big a deal if D1 reserves words that it never uses.

D1 is merely a fork/branch of D from a point where it was reasonably stable and Walter was about to introduce some major, breaking changes, and it was decided that it would be kinder to the existing D users at the time to branch for continued development. It was never really meant to stick around long term. And it's about to be officially unsupported. So, it's not all that surprising if it has some rough edges anyway. And all that this means is that there are two words that no one using D1 can use - cent and ucent. That's far from a disaster and really not worth our time to worry about IMHO. Also note that it's one of D1's biggest users - Don - who closed the bug. If Don doesn't think that it needs to be fixed for D1, then I think that it's safe to say that we don't need to worry about it.
