I just checked current CVS and see exactly what you describe:

        test=> SELECT pg_class.* LIMIT 0;
        ERROR:  missing FROM-clause entry for table "pg_class"

        test=> SET add_missing_from=true;
        SET
        test=> SELECT pg_class.* LIMIT 0;
        NOTICE:  adding missing FROM-clause entry for table "pg_class"

Is this what we want?  I don't think so.  I thought we wanted to
maintain the backward-compatible syntax of no FROM clause.
