Tom, Et Al:

Going over the .conf, I just noticed that add_missing_from is still set to 
True in postgresql.conf.sample.    By my memory of our discussion, this 
option was introduced in 7.4 and was to be set to False by default in 8.0.   
Can we switch it to False?

BTW, the reason for setting it to false is that it's not SQL-standard and 
often leads to "silent failures"; that is, users getting results they don't 
expect because they left out a table name.
