Thank you Pavel, David.

Thank you for pointing syntaxes to be addressed. Most of the are

As mentioned before, upper-lower problem is an existing
issue. The case of the words in a query result list cannot be
edited since it may contain words that should not be changed,
such as relation names. So we can address it only before issueing
a query but I haven't found simple way to do it.

Thank you very much.

These are not done. Each of them has issues to be addressed
before adding completion of IF EXISTS.

Done.

I don't see the syntax "drop text search [if exists]". drop text
search (configuration|dictionary|parser|template) are already
addressed.

"drop user" was not completed with "mapping". I added it then
addressed this. (This might be another issue.)

Done if it is mentioning DROP COLUMN. But new two macros
HeadMatches6 and 7 are introduced together.

DROP SEQUENCE is already completed with IF EXISTS. CREATE [TEMP]
SEQUENCE with IF NOT EXISTS is added.
