Are you subscribed to general?  We had a big discussion there and there
was almost universal agreement that the LIMIT #,# syntax is too
error-prone, and the only reason to have it was for MySQL compatibility. 
Of course, our syntax is backward, so is it not a compatibility but an
incompatibility.

Everyone thought LIMIT # OFFSET # was preferred.

I don't mind reversing out all of this but I can't make everyone happy.

I know the discussion and I've thought Peter's objection was
suffienctly valid to reverse your change but the discussion
has continued.
