Was "any" a reserved word in Go before? Because if not, this would be a breaking chnage for all code that uses a var named "any".

I just tested on the dev branch and you can still use variables named `any`. The compiler is smart enough to tell variable names and types apart. You can even create a variable named any with type any with `var any any`

"any" is a new identifier, not a keyword. The usual shadowing rules apply.
