Technically "parent" and "self" is not keywords, they are implemented as
T_STRING. These are only used as keywords when the next non whitespace token is a double colon,
like:

self::$property->...

So I would continue reading until the next token and decide from there if its used in a
"keyword-context" or not to decide its syntax highlight color.
