Well, OK, it took the special breed of programmer we have here to find
them and any fool should have known not to use these words in 4gl
BUT......
Compilation phase i4glc3 (the esql/c phase) dips out with a syntax
error if you have a temp table with a column called 'ref', and also if
you create a function in your 4gl called SELECT().
Yes it's true, someone wrote that.
Furrfu.

But the point remains that neither of them show up as reserved words
in the manuals. And I do recall in SQL when they purged most of the
reserved words at V4.10 you could create a statement that went:

SELECT SELECT FROM FROM WHERE WHERE = NOT AND AND = OR OR NULL IS NOT
NULL
.... and so on.

I've always thought it was WORNG that 4GL -> C does not add a special wart
up the front of every single program entity which is mapped to C. But there
ya go.
