Unable to alias echo from the system module

[bifunctor]

When I try to import echo from the system module under the alias my_echo, I get this error:

c:\Users\Obround\Desktop\Nim_tests\my_test.nim(1, 25) Error: identifier expected, but found 'echo as my_echo'

This is my code:

from system import echo as my_echo
my_echo "Hello World"

I believe this error is happening because the compiler thinks I want to echo an output instead of alias it. Is this a bug, or am I doing something incorrect (I think its a bug)?

It seems like echo is treated as a keyword when parsing and only the following structure is allowed from [module identifier] import [identifier] as [identifier].

echo is not listed as a keyword in the manual though: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifiers-amp-keywords

That's not how as works, you can only use as to alias module names, not arbitrary identifiers. And for modules this feature only exists to allow for multiple modules of the same name to be imported.

my PR #11822 fixes this: my_echo:=system.echo works
