Only the first of those is even valid here, if you double-quote an
identifier it never is even possibly considered a keyword that could
conflict. As for the first one, our reserved words specification doesn’t
claim commit as one of them. Bugs need to things where we claim one thing
and implement something different. Not relative to some external
specification.
