Hm. I do not believe it'd work for LEFT/RIGHT because of join condition
syntax, but it might for ANALYZE, FREEZE, and VERBOSE; which would
actually amount to a pretty significant percentage of our
totally-outside-any-spec reserved words.
I'm still not really eager to introduce yet another category of
keywords, but perhaps it is worth doing. Comments?
