Well, the idiom:

   EXECUTE format("SELECT %I FROM %I WHERE $1", col, tbl) USING val;

is not lovely. It works, but it's clumsy.

This is exactly why we need a new language.

We could certainly improve that syntax in PL/pgSQL. No need to start from scratch for that..

Got a suggestion what the syntax should look like?
