Should async/await be strict keywords?

[ehuss]

My impression is that async and await should be strict keywords. They are currently marked as "unused" or "reserved" (unused, unstable). I think the main consequence is that in error messages it is called a reserved keyword if you try to use it as an identifier, when it should just say "keyword".

Keywords are supposed to migrate from the "reserved-unused" category to "used" immediately after or together with their stabilization. (There are some related comments on the keyword lists in symbol.rs).
Stable async/await is already on beta, right? Then it's time to mark the keywords as "used" as well.

Thanks, I'll take a look at updating it.
