yeah! but some times the reason MySQL is not failing on those cases is
because it's broken...
Consider this one:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-12/msg00487.php

we don't want to copy the bugs nor the bad designs decisions from
MySQL, no that everything from MySQL is bad but i would be scary if we
start supporting every single piece of code MySQL accepts
