I haven't looked at either dollar quote patch, but will hopefully get to
that and other JDBC items later this week.  Not parsing comments, both --
and /* */ is a complaint we here as often if not if not with more
frequency than dollar quoting.  (Apparently there's a Hibernate option
that puts things in comments.)  So, yes that would be a good thing to look
at.

Another parsing problem that we'll have with the 8.2 release is the
standard_conforming_strings configuration variable.  I would appreciate
anyone taking a look at that and the issues that it will create, not just
for query parsing, but also for escaping in the V2 path and
DatabaseMetaData methods.
