Your point seems reasonable to me. So, how about keeping a reusable
production, but making it represent the entire EXCEPT table list
instead of a single list element?
ALL TABLES [ EXCEPT ( except_table_list ) ]
where except_table_list is:
TABLE table_object [, [ TABLE ] table_object ] ...
This avoids having list notation in both the EXCEPT clause and the definition
of except_table_object, which makes the current synopsis a bit hard to read.
It also keeps the EXCEPT syntax probably reusable for future command support.
