While that would mostly work, it would prevent setting the column to its
default value using the DEFAULT keyword.
Only expressions specified in valuesLists allow DEFAULT to be used. Those
in targetList do not because transformInsertStmt() treats that as a general
SELECT statement and the grammar does not allow the use of DEFAULT there.
So this would generate a "DEFAULT is not allowed in this context" error
if only targetList was used:
INSERT INTO t set c1 = DEFAULT;
