define - precedes the declaration of any top level structure.

abstract - part of the definition of a top level structure or 
function.  This indicates that this particular structure or 
function cannot be instantiated but must be implemented 
by either another top level structure or a function.  Functions
implementing abstract methods must be preceded by the implements
keyword

class - indicates a top-level class container structure that
can be instantiated as an object unless it is preceded by the 
abstract keyword

@public - indicates public members of a class

@private - indicates private members of a class

@protected - indicates non-public but sub-class accessible
members of a class

@ports - used to define ports within a Kernel object, only valid
when used within something that sub-classes a Kernel.  If used
outside of a Kernel sub-class this will throw an exception

final - when used as a modifier to a class, prevents any sub-classing
of the class, its invalid for use as a modifier to a template or an 
abstract class that cannot be instantiated without sub-classing.  Methods
may use final to indicate that sub-classes cannot override this particular
function.  Final may also be used to prevent a method from being 
overridden.

system - you'll only see this in system function declaration stubs, these
classes and functions are defined by the runtime in native code, they're
not extendable by the user at the moment.


extends - indicates that a class inherits public and protected
members from the class name which follows this keyword

implements - can be used in two manners.  The first is in a 
class declaration indicating that this class implements a given
interface, the second is in a function declaration where the
user is explicitly required to state that the function declaration 
implements an inherited abstract method or interface method.

overrides - keyword within a function declaration to indicate
if a function overrides a method within a super-class, required 
for overriding both abstract and implemented super-class methods.

autogen - keyword that indicates automatic synthesis of access 
functions for private variables. The functions are named in the 
following way: get_variable_name, set_variable_name.
