So, for all this fuss about 'cast' in the Standard, it isn't even
a reserved word in C itself.

 Many or most of the defined terms in the C standard are not
keywords or reserved words in the C language.

My point was, if 'cast' /was/ a reserved word, then you'd have to get it just right with no quibbling.
But it isn't. A bit silly to apply just as strict rules to humans discussing topics in English. It's not as though usenet messages are going to be compiled with 'gcc -Wpedantic'!
