Well. Ok.
Then I'll just do it myself.
Just thought it would be good for thousands of users.
As I said, it was just a suggestion.
I surely aint the only one who ever thought about it.
Thanks anyway.

Our project has a policy of upholding the SQL standard whereever possible.
For that reason, we don't approve non-standard syntax just for reasons of
accessibility. Any non-standard syntax we approve needs to add
significant extra functionality to the DBMS, not just convenience, and
certainly not because MySQL does it.
"Standards are important" is one of the themes of PostgreSQL which
differentiates us from MySQL.

You're mistaken. I think we get more migrations from Oracle than from
MySQL. And quite a few from DB2 and Informix.
