Yield as contextual keyword

[John Rose]

This one is fixable with a local-variable rename.
I think that's a robust solution as long as the
anonymous class is in a context where the
local can be introduced nearby.

We can perhaps find awkward contexts where
the local cannot be introduced.  I'm thinking
of 'super(new Object() {…})' and field initializers.
In those cases, the outer object can supply
a field or method to provide access to the
shadowed 'this'.
