I just checked current CVS and see exactly what you describe:
test=> SELECT pg_class.* LIMIT 0;
ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "pg_class"
test=> SET add_missing_from=true;
SET
test=> SELECT pg_class.* LIMIT 0;
NOTICE: adding missing FROM-clause entry for table "pg_class"
Is this what we want? I don't think so. I thought we wanted to
maintain the backward-compatible syntax of no FROM clause.
