If you are trying literally "SELECT (1, 2)", I think that the parser
comes to the terminating a_expr through the following path.

<omitted>
simple_select: SELECT .. opt_target_list ...
opt_target_list: target_list
target_list: target_el | target list '.' target_el
target_el: a_expr
a_expr: c_expr
c_expr: implicit_row
implicit_row: '(' expr_list ',' a_expr ')'
expr_list: a_expr | expr_list ',' a_expr
