We currently get a shift/reduce parsing conflict on this since NULL can be
specified in other constraint clauses and since the constraint clauses are
only whitespace delimited. It might be that this part of the parser can be
redone, or perhaps the only way around is to restrict the ordering of the
constraints. But NULL constraint is not SQL92 and free ordering is...
