    I think that for keywords, that language's implementation should
    generate something sensible if there's code generation installed.  So,
    the Java specific compiler could have a list of Java keywords
    embedded.  If it sees "long", it just replaces it with "long_" in the
    generated code.  The only reserved words in Avro are the names of
    built-in avro types...

    Would that be sensible?


+1 I agree that we should only mangle names when they conflict.
