That is unfortunate.  I may even have run across this before, but
blocked it out of my memory.

Though there is precedent, it is still undesirable.  So it is still a
reason why "next" is a particularly bad choice for a new keyword.

The situation that Gord pointed out, where "next" is used as an
identifier in the standard package, is an even stronger reason.

This is in addition to the fact that it collides with so many identifiers
in designs.
