This is crazy! By leaving it in, they are allowing my obsolescent code to
compile and run without warning!
This means that one day down the road, *MY* code is going to break because
the developers assumed that this obsolescent behavior was OK to turn on by
default.
IMO they should have disabled the default acceptance of "=" and given us an
option to enable it if our code broke.
Not leaving it in by default.

Any PG committers who can change this in 9.3?
