Re: syntax sugar for conditional check

Hello,

I thought it would be cool to have conditional check syntax, which gets converted to simple check constraint syntax. 

Here’s a gist:

It’s just sugar, but i think it would make check constraints easier to read, and easier to write without backwards boolean logic. 

For future reference please make every effort to make emails to the list self-contained - which has the added benefit of avoid link expiration in the future.

As to the recommendation at hand - I don't see significant value in implementing non-SQL Standard syntax in this area.
