Subject: incorrect syntax for offset

Hi.

Our current docs says that we support the following syntax (i'm
putting just the lines that disturbes me) inside a SELECT statement
"""
[ LIMIT { count | ALL } ]
[ OFFSET start [ ROW | ROWS ] ]
[ FETCH { FIRST | NEXT } [ count ] { ROW | ROWS } ONLY ]
"""

i read that as allow me to use the ROWS in an OFFSET clause whatever i
use LIMIT or FETCH for limiting results but seems like we try hard to
make a distinguish from old syntax and new (sql standard) syntax

pruebas=3D# select * from tab1 limit 3 offset 2 rows;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "rows"
LINE 1: select * from tab1 limit 3 offset 2 rows;
                                            ^
pruebas=3D# select * from tab1 offset 2 fetch next 3 rows only;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "fetch"
LINE 1: select * from tab1 offset 2 fetch next 3 rows only;
                                    ^
