If you read section 1.7 very carefully and thoughtfully, you may change
your mind. Assume your compiler reserves "xyz". Is a program which is
otherwise "strictly conforming" rendered not so by using "xyz" for its
own purposes? No. Is your compiler a "conforming implementation" if it
refuses to compile that program as a result? No.
