PL/I has that, too, because the designers thought you couldn’t expect programmers to know all keywords. For PL/I, that’s a correct assumption. Implementations can have hundreds of keywords, and some of them are single-letter (http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/ibm/series1/GC34-0084... pages 19-25 mentions A, B, E, F, P, R, S, V and X)
