After sleeping on it, I got cold feet about breaking arguably
legal code, so I made OPEN check at runtime instead. Which
was probably a good thing anyway, because it made me notice
that exec_stmt_forc() needed a check too. AFAICS there are no
other places in pl_exec.c that are performing assignments to
variables not checked at parse time.
Pushed that way.
