arr[var"end"] is the same as arr[end]

Brought up in #56936 (thanks @martinholters for the example):

julia> let var"end"=1; (1:10)[var"end"]; end
10 # anything else than "end", and you get 1

I think the parser should probably parse the end atom as `(end) rather than 'end (and same for begin), with appropriate adjustments to the rest of lowering.

The parse-atom code is here in the flisp parser: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/src/julia-parser.scm#L2477
The JuliaSyntax parser actually already recognizes it as a keyword and then explicitly maps it back to an identifier here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaSyntax.jl/blob/2e965a159dd9f87d216d2d50ecbd2ed4f9af2c5a/src/parser.jl#L3632, so that could be appropriately tweaked.

The primary lowering code that deals with begin/end is here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/src/julia-syntax.scm#L115-L130 although grep for 'end and 'begin for other places.

That sounds right to me.

Even if we change the parser though, printing would still be wrong unless it correctly detects the context, and additionally would be a huge pain to deparse in situations where the expr was not expected. It is still probably the right thing to do (like was done for true/false), but is quite separate from the correct printing
