Yeah, BETWEEN is like that.  I'd like to fix it sometime, but it's
kind of problematic because of the risk of losing index optimizations
(which only understand x >= y and x <= z, not a hypothetical combined
node).

I think there are no other examples (CASE used to be one, but we fixed
that long ago), but haven't trawled the grammar to be sure.
