True enough - but the same thing could be said of *any* new keyword.
Maybe I would like to create a variable named "cursor" in my program. 
I can't, it's already taken. Same with 'value', 'where', etc.

If we don't want any new keywords, then Rob can stop work on 2.3, 
and save himself a lot of trouble, because there's not much he can 
add.

Of course, proper namespacing could make that a moot point, as these
two words could exist outside of user namespace.
