What if you could define an additional set of keywords and for each keyword a 
mapping to a sequence of tokens?
In that case, you can perform such substitutions before the actual parse 
process starts. This would work for your particular problem: but it's rather 
early in the entire process to be really useful.
(not to mention that I'm not sure if it is possible to 'dynamically' extend the 
lexer)
