Conformance to the SQL standard is defined such that statements that are
specified in the standard should work precisely as specified in the
standard.  It does *not* mean that statements that are not defined in
the standard should fail to work.  Therefore, adding more reserved key
words than necessary does not achieve anything in terms of SQL
conformance.
