> It would be nice to have a variant of the ALTER TABLE statement,
> similar to the SET INCREMENT BY or SET RESTART WITH variants,
> that allowed a user to change the CYCLE option on an IDENTITY column.
> I think that the code flow for this could be closely modelled on the
> code flow for the SET INCREMENT BY variant: after the statement
> is parsed, we simply need to drop and recreate the underlying SEQUENCE
> object with the desired CYCLE option (and preserving all the other
> aspects of the underlying SEQUENCE object.
