Yeah, exactly. Personally I'm *not* for this, but if we do it we should
do it consistently: every comma-separated list in the SQL syntax should
work the same.
PL/pgSQL, too, I presume.
Yes.
The only case I can think of where we wouldn't want this is COPY.
BTW, this should also apply to delimiters other than commas; for example, some
geometry types use ; as a delimiter between points.
I do think such a change should be made in stages, and maybe not every last one
makes it into 9.5, but the intention should certainly be that we support extra
delimiters *everywhere*.
