It violates the standard, sorry.

IMO, there are only two solutions possible. We either follow the SQL
spec that explicitly defines lists of both reserved and non-reserved
words and we expect people thinking about possible upgrades/migrations
and hence looking in the spec before naming their objects. Or we make
almost everything (what's technically possible) non-reserved.
