nHibernate 4.1.4 is not quoting table name that matches reserved keyword - nhibernate

Question

I'm using nHibernate 4.1.4 MappingByCode. My Dialect is
public class Dialect : NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2012Dialect
{
protected override void RegisterKeywords()
{
base.RegisterKeywords();
RegisterKeyword("user");
}
}
My config is setting
config.SetProperty(Environment.Hbm2ddlKeyWords, "keywords");
I have a table named User.
SQL error is thrown that invalid table name User is invalid. nHibernate fails to wrap it in brackets.
Any ideas?

Keywords are used for different purpose...
what we need is ad hoc table name escaping
5.3. SQL quoted identifiers
You may force NHibernate to quote an identifier in the generated SQL
by enclosing the table or column name in back-ticks in the mapping
document. NHibernate will use the correct quotation style for the SQL
Dialect (usually double quotes, but brackets for SQL Server and
back-ticks for MySQL).
<class name="LineItem" table="`Line Item`">
<id name="Id" column="`Item Id`"/><generator class="assigned"/></id>
<property name="ItemNumber" column="`Item #`"/>
...
</class>
I.e. in mapping, we need to escape table name:
"`user`"
Keywords, defined in configuration of the dialect, would help NH parser when working with custom sql statements. E.g. in formulas, subselects.
