  I suppose that the reason is simply that the keyword in question
has not been added to the user-defined-function universe, so when
the user-defined-function parser sees it, it thinks "oh, an unknown
name, let's see if there's an identifier of that name in in the SDL
universe -> no -> error".

  The SDL namespace and the user-defined-function namespace being two
completely different and separate universes causes indeed lots of
confusion. I have actually thought about writing a short article
about that at the povQ&T page.
