mcs and gmcs do not report CS1041 if a keyword is used for an identifier.

To reproduce, compile the following code snippet:

public class Test {
	static void Main () {
		string ref = "abc";
		Console.WriteLine (ref);
	}
}

Expected result:

test.cs(3,10): error CS1041: Identifier expected, 'ref' is a keyword
test.cs(3,10): error CS1525: Invalid expression term 'ref'
test.cs(4,25): error CS1525: Invalid expression term ')'
test.cs(4,26): error CS1026: ) expected

Actual result:

test.cs(3,10): error CS1002: Expecting ';'
test.cs(4,25): error CS1002: Expecting ';'

I think the issue is not possible to fix with current parser.

We may just need to add an "error"-production to the appropriate rule.
 Of course this may get tedious if we want to add error productions to
all declarations.

Maybe I am wrong but in this case we cannot do any factorization
otherwise we can reduce/reduce conflict.

The option is to inline all keywords to all sections which is horrible.
