Actually, when you think about this for a moment, it's not such a bad idea.
The format below would need some improvement but WTF. I bet it ends up
being an Oracle 9i release 'n' feature.
where use_nested{A.col1 = B.col1, taba_pk, tabb_pk}
where use_bitmap{A.sex = 'M', taba_bdx}
I'll bet 90% of Oracle's new features started out as an "I Wish" in
somebodies head at 3 in the morning.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
You mean all this time my hints like the following:
select *
from table
where /*+ LET_ME_CHOOSE_THE_ORDER */
/*+ DO_ME_FIRST */ col1 = 12 and
/*+ NOT_ME_YET */ col2 = 13 and
/*+ WHEN_YOU_GET_A_MOMENT_TRY_ME */ col3 = 14
isn't going to work ?
