Fwiw, I saw that syntax somewhere some days back and then went looking
what it meant. I did find it in psql's "\h select" and in turn the
full SELECT documentation. I guess if the docs had not mentioned it, I
would have had to read the grammar, and looking for a non-string in
there sounds painful.
So it should definitely be kept. Thanks. :)
