Roughly in other words, we assume that any file the end user throws at us is a well formed program, so instead of enumerating all valid keywords and limit the match exactly to them, use a pattern that would match valid keywords (both currently known ones, and anything the language might add in the future that we do not know about), to match with anything syntactically plausible to be a definition?
It does make sense to start by assuming that the end user data is a valid C# program.
