We use a script to grab the reserved words from the source; it's not a straightforward dump of all symbols since many are in fact allowed. Based on your info I checked the script and made some changes: 2 keywords and all 15 synonyms had been missing. DEC was one of the synonyms, of course. The online manual should reflect this change soon. So, thanks for the feedback!
