Yeah, I'm sorry about the churn on this particular thing, and am
trying to resolve it.  It is, strictly speaking, part of a bug fix.  I
just needed to find a reasonably portable usage for people to declare
keywords.  There are enough (even recent) compilers on which the
preferred syntax doesn't work that I'm going to introduce a macro.
