21 actually. case, class, data, default, deriving, do, else, if,
import, in, infix, infixl, infixr, instance, let, module, newtype, of,
then, type, where. There's also three special words that can still be
used as identifiers, so aren't reserved: as, qualified, hiding.
Are we counting the FFI annex ("foreign")?
Strictly, wasn't that added *after* the Haskell 98 report was written?
I.e., if you wanted to be ultra-technical about it, it's not part of the
original Haskell '98?
At any rate, no I didn't count the FFI. (Since I almost never use it.)
