That would be possible. I'd be happier doing it for v6.5, since I'm
hoping to work on docs in the meantime. Of course, maybe it would be
easy :)
What should the syntax be exactly?
CREATE TABLE t (s SERIAL);
or
CREATE TABLE t (i INT DEFAULT SERIAL);
or ??
Are there alternate syntaxes from other DBs which should be considered?
