It don't like the idea of doing it, but I also don't like saying
incorrect things about what does and does not violate the requirements
of the standard. Using language keywords does not violate any
requirements imposed by the C standard. Code which does such things
might be hard to read and understand, but it has well-defined behavior
according to the C standard (unless some other feature of the program is
problematic).
