See 2.4 Reserved Words.

    This recognition shall only occur when none of the characters is
    quoted and when the word is used as:

    * The first word of a command
    * The first word following one of the reserved words other than
      case, for, or in
    * The third word in a case command (only in is valid in this case)
    * The third word in a for command (only in and do are valid in this
      case)
