I was splitting a list into the first elements and second elements and i named my variables as and bs. Turns out as must be a reserved word -- my error message was very confusing. It simple said "indention incorrect". I can try to reproduce if useful

We are going to attempt to get the new compiler (written in zig) ready in time for advent of code. I just tried the as = with the new compiler and it does not throw an error. as = ... is not something that would make sense with the keyword and I think the new compiler is smart enough to know that. So we're probably not going to fix this in the old compiler.
