Sure! (They'll need to be golfed down.) Here are three entries that
hit the crash, each on its own line:

Something the fuzzer really likes is zero-length identifiers ("").
Maybe that's by design, but I thought I'd mention it since the
standard lexer doesn't allow that and syntax.sql doesn't exercise it.

With USE_ASSERT_CHECKING, that should help, but I'm not sure if it
does without. (I could have sworn there was a conversation about that
at some point but I can't remember any of the keywords.) Could also
just make a dummy assignment. Or tag pg_plan_advice_dsa_area() with
__attribute__((returns_nonnull)), but that's more portability work.
