Description
May want to scope this down to the language being generated rather than a fully inclusive set of all banned words.
I ran into this with an enum named "ALL" which is a reserved VHDL keyword.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the RDL generation entry point and how enum identifiers are validated, then determine how generated-language keyword sets are represented. Done means language-specific reserved-word conflicts such as the VHDL keyword "ALL" produce a warning or error, with the intended scope decided.
