Is anybody working on:
   alter table <table> add constraint <name> primary key(column,...);

or
   alter table <table> add constraint <name> unique(column,...);

or
   alter table drop constraint

I guess this is not really a small task as it relates to unifying
constraint handling, but for the PK & unique constraints at least, we must
already have code that does the work - all(?) that has to happen is to make
sure the ALTER command calls it...is that right?
