'length' name issue

hello

found the following issue:

the following code do not produce any errors from gawk::

    BEGIN{

    a = length

    }

the name 'length' is the name of the one gawk's built-in function.

this behaviour is actual only for 'length' name.

none of the other built-in/extension/user function's names do not have
this behaviour
