Several of my Red Hat cohorts are pretty interested in making the
RECURSIVE query stuff work for 7.4.  (The fact that they're ex-DB2
folk might explain their preference for the SQL99 syntax, nee DB2
syntax, over Oracle's CONNECT BY ... but I'm with them ;-(.  Oracle's
recursive-join syntax is nearly as bad as their outer-join syntax.)
