It should be possible to introduce a variable of the same name as builtin. This is important for forward compatibility, because introducing a new built-in word later on would make programs that use that name for a variable invalid.

parser: Don't forbid overriding builtins

Banning variables named as builtins is undesirable for forward
compatibility, as any new name might invalidate programs that use that
name.

Fixes issue #29.
