IMHO, it would be a more natural choice to have the add_missing_from
disabled by default. Why would anyone *ever* want faulty SQL being
magically "patched up" by the dbms?

Ok, so some older installations might break when this is changed but the
option is still there. Let applications that depend on this somewhat
magical behavior enable it rather than have everyone else potentially
run into the same problem as Philip.
