> we're not giving you new keywords

Since when? Last time I looked C++ had almost a hundred keywords. C++ 20 added a bunch including "requires" and "concept" - both ordinary English words which oops, too bad now your software is incompatible because it used the wrong identifier.

It’s extremely difficult to get new keywords into the language. This is a very large part of the reason we can only have new functionality in the library.
