Why is 'base' treated like a reserved word in the IDE? - Pete - 04-11-2025
Print base
That gives us a Name already in use IDE error message with the syntax checker on.
Now sure, base is a computer / mathematical term, but I thought the only terms excluded from variable use were keywords.
Oh, I should include placing the cursor on 'base' and pressing F1 does nothing, and base is not a keyword in the wiki.

Perhaps it is in use in the generated C++ code... (This is raw speculation, I dont know this for a fact)
I know base is a keyword in C# but I do not recall if C++ uses it.

It's part of the `OPTION BASE` command. Realistically it could probably still be allowed, but that's is why it's not.
