"static" keyword in other places

[mcchrish]

import { static as staticFile } from 'statics'

var static = 'test'

let static = 'test2'

class testing {
  static test
}

Except for the static keyword inside the class, static is highlighted red.

This could be just a question, since I'm using a library that uses the word static as an identifier. Will javascript prevent static from being used as a variable name or identifier in the future? If so, then I guess it makes sense for this plugin to highlight it as red. Sort of like an extra linting capability of the syntax highlighting.

Yes, it is in old JavaScript.
