Isn't this all contained in the SQL specification?

Reading the spec may differ. And we don't follow the standard strictly sometimes.

3) LATERAL was historically implied for joined stored procedures, e.g.

I suggest 3b

4) LATERAL in nested parenthesis joins, e.g.

Not allowed by the syntax construction in the SQL specification:

In our parser:

%type <recSourceNode> table_primary
table_primary
        : table_proc
        | derived_table
        | '(' joined_table ')'
        ;

IMHO, it wouldn't look logical to support LATERAL for "table_proc" but disallow it for "joined table".
