Now now, what about our goal of Postgres world domination? Gonna be
tough to get there unless we can assimilate Oracle users ;-)
I do want to keep that brain-damaged syntax at arm's length, which
suggests a separate parser rather than merging it into our main
parser. I'm not convinced a translation can be done at the grammar
level with no semantic analysis --- but if Ian thinks he can do it,
let him try...
