To be honest, I see no reason to include such a feature at all, 
backticks or otherwise.  Both look hideously ugly, and if I'm going to 
have to go through code to add backticks because a new keyword was 
introduced, I will just rename it instead to avoid using such syntax.

Not looking forward to:

public T createInstance(Class<T> `class`);

Let's just keep:

public T createInstance(Class<T> cls);
public T createInstance(Class<T> clazz);
public T createInstance(Class<T> c);
