The lexer would be quite surprised by your claim that NULL isn't
a keyword.  Per src/include/parser/kwlist.h, NULL is a keyword,
and a fully reserved one at that.

                        

Can’t it be both a value and a keyword?  I figured the not null constraint and is null predicates are why it’s a keyword but the existence of those doesn’t cover its usage as a literal value that can be stuck anywhere you have an expression.
