I admitted that later. Some of the keywords have a strong

I would rather have many different specialized keywords than a few
keywords with many different meanings. Its *much* easier to remember a
large set of simple words than a small set of complex words.
Many of the keywords come from each basic type having its own keyword.
Sure, it could be done like C does with "unsigned long", etc., but those
were always hard to grep for.
Also, the complex and imaginary types will be removed at some point and
replaced with a library type; there goes 6 keywords.
