Commit 1a36bc9db seems to have defined STRING as a type_func_name_keyword,
which strikes me as a pretty horrible trampling on user namespace.  That
means you can't have tables or columns named "string" anymore either, and
I'll bet money the latter restriction is going to bite a lot of people.

In a quick experiment here, I don't see any bison complaints if I
back it down to unreserved_keyword, so this seems easily fixable.
I wonder though if we don't need more review of patches that add
partially- or fully-reserved keywords.
