That narrows down 'normal' quite a bit more than acceptable. Whether or not the keywords of the command syntax are just keywords or actually "reserved words" is one of many things that programming languages are classified by. It's not justified to declare all languages that don't reserve their keywords strictly to themselves as "not normal". And let's not forget that gnuplot allows quite heavy abbreviation. You can't seriously be planning to forbid users from creating functions or variables named 't' or 'w' just because they might collide with p 'file' t "foo" w l |
