Funny you should ask.  I just looked it up this morning:

  2.9  Keywords                                                [lex.key]

1 The identifiers shown in Table 3 are reserved for use as keywords, and
  shall not be used otherwise in phases 7 and 8:

                            Table 3--keywords

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |asm          do             inline             short         typeid       |
  |auto         double         int                signed        typename     |
  |bool         dynamic_cast   long               sizeof        union        |
  |break        else           mutable            static        unsigned     |
  |case         enum           namespace          static_cast   using        |
  |catch        explicit       new                struct        virtual      |
  |char         extern         operator           switch        void         |
  |class        false          private            template      volatile     |
  |const        float          protected          this          wchar_t      |
  |const_cast   for            public             throw         while        |
  |continue     friend         register           true                       |
  |default      goto           reinterpret_cast   try                        |
  |delete       if             return             typedef                    |
  +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

2 Furthermore, the alternative representations shown in Table 4 for cer-
  tain  operators and punctuators (_lex.digraph_) are reserved and shall
  not be used otherwise:

                   Table 4--alternative representations

            +------------------------------------------------+
            |and      and_eq   bitand   bitor   compl    not |
            |not_eq   or       or_eq    xor     xor_eq       |
            +------------------------------------------------+
