 Hi,

 the use of special words in orogen Type-Headers is not prohibited (this
 ticket was created after stumbling over the "interface"). So a type-header
 like the following for example:

 {{{
 #ifndef SOMEPROJECT_ROCK_TYPES_H
 #define SOMEPROJECT_ROCK_TYPES_H

 #include <string>

 namespace someproject {

     struct Config
     {
         struct thing {
             // name of the interface to use
             std::string interface; /// <-- using the word "interface" will
 break
         };
     };
 }
 #endif
 }}}

 Will break with a complex error message: (at least for the novice)

 {{{
 $ROCK_ROOT/ndlcom_rock/.orogen/typekit/transports/corba/someprojectTypes.idl:22:
 Syntax error in member declaration
 }}}

 where the criticized part of the generated idl-file looks like this:

 {{{
     module someproject {
         module Config {
             module Corba {
                 struct thing {
                     string interface;
                 };

             };

         };

     };
 }}}

 There are probably more names prohibited for messages ("module"?). Since
 these keywords should be defined somewhere for idl-files, catching these
 previously at some ruby-layer and printing a more informative message
 might be possible.

 A similar ticket is #402.

 Greetings
