Since we're trying to get 9.3 to closure, this patch probably isn't going to get much attention until the 9.4 development cycle starts (in a couple of months, likely). In the meantime, please add it to the next commitfest list so we remember to come back to it: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/commitfest_view?id=18
One comment just from a quick eyeball look is that we really hate adding new keywords that aren't UNRESERVED, because that risks breaking existing applications. Please see if you can refactor the grammar to make those new entries unreserved.
