Hmm, I changed (and back-patched) what happens to the NOT NULL clauses,
but as I understand the behavior of the DEFAULT clauses has not changed.

Hmm, the part I was first proposing to backpatch as an ERROR was a
mismatch in the COLLATE clause; then I talked about using a WARNING.  I
ended up backpatching neither -- only immortalized the current behavior
in a test case.  I think it should be an ERROR, but in master only.


The DEFAULT clauses are a different problem (landmine) :-)
