http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml-4.01/manual044.html seems to
have a list, I suppose it is reasonably static across ocaml updates?
It's not too insane to include it all now. Using most of them in our ABI
would be a bug in our ABI IMHO and/or are already C reserved words (e.g.
"else", "false" etc).
