Not sure what the best approach here is, or if there's even a better solution apart from disallowing any unquoted keyword as an alias

It turns out doing that seems reasonable and reduces ambiguity. Dialects that require semicolon delimiters remain unaffected, but dialects where it's optional would need to quote the keyword as an identifier. That seems completely reasonable from a parser perspective.

I'm willing to drop the commit that added keywords to RESERVED_FOR_TABLE_ALIAS since this approach addresses that concern.

let select_then_exec = "SELECT * FROM deleted; EXECUTE my_sp 'some', 'params'";
let _ = all_dialects()
.parse_sql_statements(select_then_exec)
.unwrap();
let _ = all_dialects_not_requiring_semicolon_statement_delimiter()
.statements_without_semicolons_parse_to(select_then_exec, "");

let select_then_update = "SELECT 1 FROM x; UPDATE y SET z = 1";
let _ = all_dialects()
.parse_sql_statements(select_then_update)
.unwrap();
let _ = all_dialects_not_requiring_semicolon_statement_delimiter()
.statements_without_semicolons_parse_to(select_then_update, "");
}
