I only see OLD TABLE referenced as part of a trigger definition. Where
is it defined for MERGE?
In any case, as long as the SQL standard doesn't conflict, then we're
fine. And it looks unlikely to cause a conflict right now that wouldn't
also be a conflict with our existing RETURNING clause elsewhere, so I'm
not seeing a problem here.
