Thanks for reviewing it.

One argument for top-level ALL commands is also that
poolers and other tools in the middle of connection can track
them.  But it could also argued that they should have similar
rules than ordinary CLOSE/DEALLOCATE statements.  Also it seems
that disallowing them inside functions for no good reason is
couterproductive.

But I also dont feel strongly either way.
