Problem Description: A variable called File exists even when it hasn't been created in code and there is not reason for it to exist. It's value is an empty struct. As far as I can see there is no global scope called file.

Steps to Reproduce: <cfdump var="#File#">

Actual Result: an empty struct

Expected Result: an error stating "Variable FILE is undefined."

Any Workarounds: Yes.

I understand File is a reserved word but it doesn't make any sense that it should be a scope that persists throughout all requests even when there is no code that manipulates files.
