CQL distinguishes between reserved and non-reserved keywords. Reserved keywords cannot be used as an identifier. They are truly reserved for the language (but one can enclose a reserved keyword by double-quotes to use it as an identifier). Non-reserved keywords, however, only have a specific meaning in a certain context but can be used as identifiers otherwise. The only raison d’être of these non-reserved keywords is convenience: some keyword are non-reserved when it was always easy for the parser to decide whether they were used as keywords or not.
