I don't feel a need to. 7.8 isn't attempting to define the syntax precisely. Moreover, we've had this feature since 8.4, and this is the first I've heard of somebody misinterpreting the syntax; so it doesn't seem like it's a huge problem that requires multiple explanations. I've pushed a patch for the SELECT reference page. regards, tom lane
