With compiler- or language-given @keywords, there is no difference
 from other keywords, except they don't eat valid identifiers. With a
user-configurable system, it's still part of a language, but that
language is specific to the component in which the @keywords are
being used, and thus does not pollute the namespace of keywords for
other projects.
