Details:

In Matlab, spmd is a keyword. It defines an `spmd ... end` block for use in
the Parallel Computing Toolbox, but is part of the core language syntax (kind
of like parfor). iskeyword('spmd') answers true.

Should Octave add "spmd" as a keyword, reserved for future use, for Matlab
compatibility, and to allow easy non-breaking introduction of this feature in
the future?
