At is not a reserved word. It works only in the context of a raise
statement.
How is this different from "until" ?
Borland made a distinction between *reserved* words and *directives*.
Reserved words cannot be used as identifiers, while directives are
recognized as something special only in their related context, and can
be used as identifiers in all other places. If you ever happened to
write a break() or exit() procedure, you'll have noticed that your
remaining code may fail with very strange errors, because these take
precedence over the language-defined behaviour of "break" or "exit".
I do know what they are. This thread is about the why.
Why what? One is a decision of the language designers, another one the
decision of the syntax highlighter.
