If we were making up our own syntax this would be a sensible thing to
debate. If we're talking about implementing something we expect to be in
the standard, I think we will have to live with what the standards
committee decides, regardless of our preference. We've almost certainly
been preempted here by other RDBMSs using QUALIFY, heedless of English
grammar.
