Hey All,

I was just getting a new version of pgTAP ready for release, and while testing it on HEAD, I got this error:

+ psql:pgtap.sql:5789: ERROR: syntax error at end of input
+ LINE 28: IF verbose THEN RETURN NEXT diag(tests[i] ||...
+ ^

I asked on IRC, and Andrew “RhodiumToad” Gierth pointed out that it became a reserved word at some point. I'm fine to rename my variable, but Andew and I were wondering if it's really necessary for "verbose" to be reserved, since it's not in the spec.

Thanks,

David
