It's not a matter of *allowed*, it's a parsing deficiency. The fact that
there was a default declared gets silently ignored. If y'all allow ;) I
would like to fix that (have already started a bit) by perusing the code
in parse_func.c:transformCreateStmt and do the same for the alter table
add column part. Maybe and add/drop constraint will come out in the end as
well.
