I agree with the abovesaid.
I really don't have a problem with underscores; you could make your keywords
start with sth. unique like photon_* so they would be unlikely to conflict
with variables. However, it's easy for people to change their variables.
Only please, avoid mega-long keywords! I can rarely write max_trace_level in
one go without typos.
