?? We have a long standing design policy to not pollute SQL syntax with
ODBC cruft. And we have existing mechanisms to easily enable that,
delegating that compatibility layer to the ODBC driver where it belongs.
If we phrase this instead as an SQL syntax bug report it becomes even
clearer.

*grumble* The support for this is already organized. I'm just suggesting
that we avoid arbitrarily damaging our design and implementation with an
arbitrary reorganization done in the 7.2 development cycle, and that we
fix it before it become embedded in a release.
