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? regards, tom lane
