Having looked over the latest patch, my advice would be to ignore it :-(
It's almost completely devoid of documentation, except for comments
that he copied-and-pasted from elsewhere without modification. Wrong
comments are even worse than none.
What I'd like to see before anyone writes a line of code is a text
document explaining how this is going to work: what's the plan tree
structure, what happens at execution time, how much of the SQL99 spec
is going to get implemented. If you don't have that understanding
first, you're going to get buried in irrelevant details.
