No, because the syntax error will occur long before any rule has a
chance to get involved. You'd have to actually hack the C code
(see transformLockingClause in src/backend/parser/analyze.c).
It's unfortunate that somebody decided to use the standard FOR UPDATE
syntax to mean something that's got nearly 0 to do with what the spec
intends it to mean :-(.
