Worst case is we promote WITH to a fully reserved word.  While I don't
normally care for doing that, it *is* a reserved word per SQL99, and

is a noun or verb?)


If we eventually support a WITH clause for recursive queries I suspect we won't have much choice anyway. I could imagine someone using "with" as a column name, but I can't see how to avoid hurting those people.
