Totally unrelated to your point, but FYI “dynamic” is a declaration modifier, not a keyword.  "var dynamic = 42” is perfectly legal in Swift.

This is one of the advantages of having a keyword at the start of every decl and statement: we get decl modifiers without taking keywords.  You can see the list of them here (search for DeclModifier):
