Add a document for keywords #14

Open FichteFoll opened 7 months ago

We need something for keywords. List of areas of concern:

namespace-related
- use, import, #import (pre-processor?), export, with
- some syntaxes use functions to bring external files into the current scope (JavaScript, Lua)
declarations
- functions, classes, types
- lambdas (that solely use punctation, such as arrow functions)
control flow
- try, catch, return, if, for, while, exit …

This topic was previously discussed in https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues/1228 but without a clear conclusions.

List of things also use the keyword main scope but that should arguably be covered in a different document:

(Infix) operators made out of punctuation. (see also https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues/3694)
- Is an assignment a declaration or an "operation"?
Preprocessor keywords because they seem very specific to C, though the also have some overlap with imports. (see also https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues/1860)
