Hmm. It looks like the grammar is set up to require a simple
relation_name, rather than a relation_expr which would accept *,
in DELETE statements. I think this is a bug --- I know no reason
that DELETE wouldn't work as an inherited operation. Looks like
the fix will take more than a one-line change, though.
UPDATE doesn't look like it wants to deal with multiple targets
either...
