I agree that it's probably not going to happen for 8.2 but I certainly
have uses for the SQL spec's definition of MERGE (table-level instead of
the individual-tuple case). I'd like to see the individual-tuple
UPSERT/REPLACE issue handled as well but I don't believe MERGE lacking
that necessairly means MERGE should be ignored..
Thanks,
Stephen
