Well, not so much.  I was thinking in terms of unifying both
getdiag_target and cursor_variable with the assign_var production, but
actually pl_exec.c is only on board with doing that for getdiag_target.

However, we can get it to throw a more sensible error by seeing whether
the next token is '['.  I'm not that concerned about whether you can
use an array element in OPEN, but the current error message certainly
looks like a bug rather than an omitted feature.

I've pushed a patch that fixes the error message and also allows
the case for GET DIAGNOSTICS.
