I agree with a common prefix, but would sugggest another prefix that doesn't make the new keyword two tokens.

It doesn't have to look pretty, since all token filtering is highly experimental, so a rationale of simply adding the prefix TF_ would do, in my opinion (e.g. TF_class).

This one requires the new token filter patch from lhf.

I'd prefer that token filters use the convention of a $ prefix for any
added keywords (e.g. $class).  Rationale:

    * makes it clear that the keyword is an extension
    * avoids clash with identifiers in an existing program
    * avoids clash with future real keywords
