I wonder if you've tried hard enough to avoid reserving the keyword.

I think that the cube extension is not going to be the only casualty
if "cube" becomes a reserved word --- that seems like a name that
could be in use in lots of applications. ("What do you mean, 9.5
breaks our database for tracking office space?") It would be worth
quite a bit of effort to avoid that.
