/**
 * A SQL keyword.
 * <p>
 * A <code>Keyword</code> is a {@link QueryPart} that renders a SQL keyword
 * according to the settings specified in
 * {@link Settings#getRenderKeywordCase()}. It is useful mostly in jOOQ's
 * internals and for users who wish to make extensive use of "plain SQL
 * templating".
 * <p>
 * <strong>Example:</strong>
 * <p>
 * <pre><code>
 * // Assuming import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;
 *
 * Field&lt;Integer&gt; field = field(
 *     "{0}({1} {2} {3})",
 *     SQLDataType.INTEGER,
 *     keyword("extract"), keyword("year"), keyword("from"), ACTOR.LAST_UPDATE
 * );
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>
 * Instances can be created using {@link DSL#keyword(String)} and overloads.
