`partial' is a "conditional keyword" (can't think of a better name),
rather like `get', `set', `value', `add', and `remove' in C# 1.1.  That
is, it's a keyword in *some* contexts, but not all contexts.
Consequently, it *can* be used as a variable name, and mcs should permit
it.  If mcs/gmcs do not, that's a compiler bug.
