Description

client has this code
<field id="exit" type="Boolean" alwaysNotify="true"/>

 m.top.sdkTask.exit = true

is a compile error; not sure if this is a real error or not; but I presume that could be json value as well - not sure what the rules are in this case

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the shown node-field and property-access example in the compiler, then inspect how the reserved keyword exit is handled and whether the mentioned JSON-value case follows the same rules. Done means the expected behavior is decided and covered by appropriate compiler tests.
