Force usage of “var” to be parsed as keyword rather than class name

Question

Is it possible to force C# compiler to treat var as a keyword and not as a class identifier when a class of name var is declared?

public class var
{
}

public class A
{
}

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var a=new A{};  // Cannot implicitly convert type 'A' to 'var'
    }
}

Answer 1

In your code, you can no longer use var as a keyword within the context.

var is a contextual keyword (there are two types of keywords: normal and contextual), where it behaves like a keyword within its respective contexts where it is used as a type name, but can still be used as an identifier (not reserved).

You declared it as class name therefore it loses its special meaning within the context.
