The issue of reserved names is a contenious one - see issue 5 in the
specifcation.  If they fix the grammar to not use reserved names,
then the escpaing won't be needed.  The Qexo grammar is somewhat
context-dependent, and the lexer does not treat type or text as
reserved words.

Of course I could add support for ecaping, though I'm hoping a new
revison will resolve the issue.

I dislike reserved names in programming languages.
