I do not think it will be necessary to treat CURRENT as a fully-reserved
word in order to support WHERE CURRENT OF, and accordingly I'm not very
happy with reserving it in order to support this ungainly,
not-yet-and-possibly-never-standard syntax.  I still think that Oracle's
syntax is nicer, and by any sane estimate it is more of a real-world
standard than an unapproved 2000-something draft.
