IMHO a tablename after select is only valid if there is a point and
attribute or function after the tablename because postgresql handles
queries of the form:

select t1.eval;
select t1.*;

Where eval can be a column of the t1 table or a function accepting
one opaque argument. The function is automatically passed each
row of t1. This is the important feature.
