GF2 has more reserved words than GF 1.2. When old files are read, a preprocessor
replaces every identifier that has the shape of a new reserved word
with a variant where the last letter is replaced by <tt>Z</tt>, e.g.
<tt>instance</tt> is replaced by <tt>instancZ</tt>. This method is of course
unsafe and should be replaced by something better.
