Let me amend my previous reply.
THe problem is not that keywords are reserved, exactly,
it is that there is an ambiguity in the grammar for cdl files.
The line:
    data:_Fillvalue = ...
is ambiguous because it can be interpreted as the beginning
of the data: section. If you remove that line, your cdl file
compiles ok. This is going to be difficult to fix (maybe impossible)
because it can require significant lookahead.
