Well, If I'm reading the spec correctly,
INSERT INTO references a query expression
which doesn't include ORDER BY as an option, so this
is even less SQL since we're actually not just changing
it to allow our non-standard bit, but we're changing
a piece that is explicitly not allowed in the spec.
That being said, I also think it's probably a useful extension
given the LIMIT clause.
