Well, i already noted that in the "named and mixed notation" thread
actually two patches were involved, see
<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-rrreviewers/2009-07/msg00016.php>.
Since Steve's changes were so small, i considered it to be an "extension"
to Pavels patch, without treating it separately to commit. In my opinion it
wouldn't make sense to commit those changes to plpgsql _without_ having
Pavels functionality. I have to admit that i saw Tom's complaint about
making AS a special keyword in plpgsql, but decided to leave the decision
wether we want to commit this or not up to a committer. I took the efforts
to get the attached patches there in a reviewable state then instead.
Please note that Steve's suggestion is linked into the commitfest since
2009-05-21, too.
