Good changes! Two requests:
- In line (365) it should still be
Next]_varsbecause it's a direct translation from pluscal. - I'd like to see the spec you wrote that produced the error you included troubleshooting for, just to better understand what went wrong there. Doesn't have to be included in the actual manual, feel free to just attach it in a PR comment.

Could you provide the spec that you got that caused error to appear?

This is a little artificial, but there might be cases where developers accidentally declaring some variables or expression whose name start with WF_ or SF_, without realizing its collision with keywords.
