We can avoid that.  Just reserve the specific names:

    keyword1
    keyword2
    ...
    keyword9999

in 2.2.  This is 10x more keywords than even Magnus will find a use for.

    keyword1 x keyword47 [for i keyword6 y]:
        keyword12 42

I suppose we should argue about whether to reserve "keyword0" too <wink>.
