The point is that in both HLSL and C, some words (i.e. keywords) aren't legal variable identifiers. In C this includes "float"; in HLSL it does not. This kind of change treats "string" as no longer a keyword. If that's actually the case, it needs tests to justify. If not, we can't handle it using TYPE_IDENTIFIER; we'll need to add a specific rule for it.
