See
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.2/postgres/sql-keywords-appendix.html
for a pretty complete rundown. Note that LIMIT is considered a reserved
word per SQL99 (though not per SQL92) ... so you will not get a whole
lot of sympathy for any request to make it unreserved. We already do
our best not to reserve more keywords than we have to.
