Well, you post on the mailing lists ;-)

I don't think this particular request is going anywhere.  We're not
terribly receptive to non-SQL-standard syntax if there's already
other ways to get the same thing done.  New syntax has large costs:
not only the initial implementation, but documentation, ongoing
maintenance, and incremental slowdown of the parser.  Plus, if
it's something that's not in the SQL standard, there's a big risk
of getting blindsided by incompatible future extensions of the
standard.  Having said all that, really compelling ideas might
seduce us anyway ... but this specific idea seems ugly and
nonintuitive as well as nonstandard.
