Understood. This is what I was thinking. As things stand now in the
docs, the "Reserved Keywords" appendix merely lists every macro,
string, register and diversion used by mom. I have been thinking it
would be a good idea to separate the list into "internal" (not for
playing around with) and "external" (user definable by conventional
groff means) keywords.
