After more research, I am more inclined to add the keywords to the global
identifiers list. The IDLE doc says that they should be present.
"Show Completions
Open a scrollable list allowing selection of keywords and attributes."
If this issue were rejected, the line above would have to be changed. (Other
needed updates are another issue.) It was added to idlelib/help.txt (since
replaced by help.html) by KBK in

Message: ... Added AutoComplete instructions to IDLE Help.
(I checked 2.6 fetch_completions and keywords were not actually included in the
global ('') list.)
The completion menu entry was copied to idle.rst in patches for #5066 by
Jessica McKeller and Todd Rovito. Both docs were updated. Another 5 people,
at least, reviewed, including 3 core developers. It was committed by a 4th,
Andrew Svetlov. So 9 people besides me did not notice the discrepancy and may
have thought 'keywords, fine', like I have been.
One can invoke Show Completions not following anything to get a list of names
that one should not use. For that use, keywords should be included. This list
currently has 230+ identifiers, 150+ all lowercase. keyword.kwlist would add
32 (35 - 3 builtins). It is not a huge increase.
