Some people cite this list as "zomg Rust has so many keywords," so make
it clear that these aren't all used by the language today.

 Each of these keywords has special meaning in its grammar, and all of them are
 excluded from the `ident` rule.

+removed. Some of them were reserved before 1.0 to make space for possible
+future features.
