I edited the formatting of the syntax page a bit, and came up with this:
ALTER OPERATOR name ( { left_type | NONE } , { right_type | NONE } )
SET ( { RESTRICT = { res_proc | NULL }
| JOIN = { join_proc | NULL }
} [, ... ] )
A couple of minor issues with the syntax itself:
* I think it'd be better to use NONE instead of NULL above, to remove
the estimator. It seems inconsistent when we've used NONE to mean
"missing" earlier in the same statement.
* The way you check for the NULL in OperatorUpd is wrong. It cannot
distinguish between a quoted "null", meaning a function called "null",
and a NULL, meaning no function. (You can argue that you're just asking
for trouble if you name any function "null", but we're careful to deal
with that correctly everywhere else.) You don't have the information
about quoting once you leave the parser, so you'll have to distinguish
those in the grammar.
Attached is a new version of your patch, rebased over current master,
and the docs formatting fixes.
