AstNode underlying field names conflict with C# keywords

Hi

When generating the parser from grammar XML, the generator doesn't prefix C# keywords which are used as variables with "@" character. For example, from this definition
<AstNode Name="SomeNode" Description="">
    <AstNodeProperty Name="Operator" PropertyType="Simple" Type="System.String" Description="" />
    <AstNodeProperty Name="Value" PropertyType="Simple" Type="System.String" Description="" />
</AstNode>
we'll get the following code:
private System.String    operator;
private System.String    value;
...

public System.String Operator {
    get {
        return operator;
    }
    set {
        operator = value;
    }
}


public System.String Value {
    get {
        return value;
    }
    set {
        value = value;
    }
}
which obviously won't compile. It should be
private System.String    @operator;
...
public System.String Operator {
    get {
        return @operator;
    }
    set {
        @operator = value;
    }
}
and similar for Value property.

BTW, why do you call the parser semantic parser, not syntax parser?
