Using reserved keyword as method name

[Shayne H]

Is it possible to apply some attribute to allow the use of a reserved
keyword as a name for a class member?
eg

Class Foo
Sub Stop()
...
End Sub
End Class

I thought it might be possible because the System.Timers.Timer has a Stop
method.

Yes.

Class Foo
Sub [Stop]()
...
End Sub
End Class

Put the name into square brackets: 'Sub [Stop]'.
