Stropping Stropping
--------- ---------
`Stropping <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stropping_(syntax)>`_ If a keyword is enclosed in backticks it loses its keyword property and becomes an ordinary identifier.
allows the same letter sequence to be used both as a keyword and as an identifier, this simplifies parsing and
`FFI <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_function_interface>`_
with languages where that identifier is not a reserved keyword.
For example, allowing a variable named `if` without clashing with the keyword `if`.
In Nim, this is achieved via backticks, allowing any reserved word to be used as an identifier.
