Yeah, and maybe if there's a database called pg_class we select from all
tables at once. In fact, this should be the default behaviour if I just
type 'SELECT;'.
No really, I don't see a point of not enforcing the correct syntax, when
adding '.*' is all it takes to get the alternative behaviour in a standard
way.
