Yes, the problem is here. We can use same reserved words as MySQL does and we 
would not have this problem.

And WHY do we treat events as reserved word? We mix pretty printing and syntax 
analysing and it can't work without hacks. "EVENTS" has special meaning only 
in SHOW BINLOG EVENTS (maybe others, I'm not sure), so it should be 
highlighted as keyword only here.

MySQL reserved words are AFAIK not allowed in this context.
