Is there a simple way to trick the compiler (e.g. with alias), if a keyword conflicts with a function/method, e.g. as in a HTML document:

auto docBody = document.body;

// corresponding method (will not compile due to body being a keyword)

@property auto body() {
  // simplified code
  return this.getElementByTagName("body");
}

Aww, a bit of underscoring hasn't hurt anyone yet. :)

Write in with an uppercase. ;)
Int, If, Template...

I've also seen some people append _: body_, int_ etc.

It is what current Phobos style guide suggests.

Yes, I've used it, but don't like it. Maybe I'll opt for the uppercase solution.

"body" is probably the most frequent issue I run into when porting C/C++ code to D.

I really wonder whether the rule could be relaxed a little bit.
