Peter put it in, I think. It is in the SQL:2008 spec, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a horribly bad piece of design.
Hmmm. We're not going to implement *everything* in the spec; nobody does, even IBM. I think maybe these kinds of additions need to be hashed out for value so we don't waste Peter's work in the future. Peter?
