 * A word about keywords:
 *
 * We keep reserved and unreserved keywords in separate headers.  Be careful
 * not to put the same word in both headers.  Also be sure that pl_gram.y's
 * unreserved_keyword production agrees with the unreserved header.  The
 * reserved keywords are passed to the core scanner, so they will be
 * recognized before (and instead of) any variable name.  Unreserved words
 * are checked for separately, usually after determining that the identifier
 * isn't a known variable name.  If plpgsql_IdentifierLookup is DECLARE then
 * no variable names will be recognized, so the unreserved words always work.
 * (Note in particular that this helps us avoid reserving keywords that are
 * only needed in DECLARE sections.)
 *
 * In certain contexts it is desirable to prefer recognizing an unreserved
 * keyword over recognizing a variable name.  In particular, at the start
 * of a statement we should prefer unreserved keywords unless the statement
 * looks like an assignment (i.e., first token is followed by ':=' or '[').
 * This rule allows most statement-introducing keywords to be kept unreserved.
 * (We still have to reserve initial keywords that might follow a block
 * label, unfortunately, since the method used to determine if we are at
 * start of statement doesn't recognize such cases.  We'd also have to
 * reserve any keyword that could legitimately be followed by ':=' or '['.)
 * Some additional cases are handled in pl_gram.y using tok_is_keyword().
 *
 * We try to avoid reserving more keywords than we have to; but there's
 * little point in not reserving a word if it's reserved in the core grammar.
 * Currently, the following words are reserved here but not in the core:
 * BEGIN BY DECLARE FOREACH IF LOOP WHILE
