Reserved words and constants

Geeks have to memorize reserved words, clients generally don't.  Like attributes.  Clients write sloppy TE script and we never expect them to specify attributes, but geeks tables will be loaded with them. They both write TE script.

So, if geeks have already memorized the reserved words of some common types? Hey, grab those words, geekdom can use them, and they are especially useful in pre-defined types. Then take TE and split it into sloppy TE and strict TE. We expect client TE script will be 90% keywords, the comma, white space and an occasionally misused dot.
