AFAIR this is still the only way to do updates on joined tables, a feature 
that IIRC is in the sql spec (and certianly in other rdbms') that we do not 
support.  Until we come up with a solution for that, I think our current 
behavior of defaulting on and emiting a warning upon occurance is the right 
way to go.
