AFAIR it's just lack of round tuits.  There would probably be some
semantic side-effects, though if you pay attention you could likely
make things better while you are at it.  The existing behavior of
parsing and planning all the statements at once is not very desirable
--- for instance, it doesn't work to do
	CREATE TABLE foo AS ...;
	SELECT * FROM foo;
I think if we're going to nuke this code and start over, we should
try to make that sort of case work.
