That would just break existing code.  There are lots of other
examples where you can get away with such things.

We've expended quite a lot of sweat to avoid reserving more names than
we had to in plpgsql.  I'm disinclined to throw that away just because
somebody found an error message confusing.  It's not like reserving
"offset" would cause this case to work.
