Thank you; I didn't know that about the 'optional tail'. So my 'fix' actually means that both SQL and SQL[ will be recognized as keywords, which isn't what's wanted.
The user who pointed out the issue is actually using 'neovim', so it would be great (for me) if a solution which worked with the existing code were possible.
