@jhewlett: Yes, and the lexer either hands out a "IdentifierOrKeyword" token, or the parser checks if the Identifier it got matches a keyword that can appear there.

@BartvanIngenSchenau: The lexer must give out the specific token types. But the grammar accepts identifier or any of the keywords in all places where it can.
