Nah, I was thinking of things like OUTPUT - which must have been around
since the 80s. OUTPUT is a keyword, but it's not reserved and you
can create a table or a column with that name, without any quoting.
But I assume you were thinking of the list of "Future keywords". That
does indeed seem like an ANSI list.
