Oh, sorry, I was in too much of a rush this morning, and did not read all that carefully (or really, at all...) For that I might, if some different wording to what is currently proposed is needed, use something like: * the TOKEN is the first token observed, or follows other tokens which would allow this TOKEN to become the command word of a simple command [xref], should the (unrecognised yet) following tokens (if any) allow the token sequence to be parsed that way, but regardless of what tokens follow.
That does not look right: this bullet point is the one that requires shells to not perform alias substitution on reserved words (since they would not be parsed as the command name word of a simple command). Your proposed wording makes this conditional on whether or not the token is the first in the input stream.
