It takes less developer time, and less risk of breaking existing code
looking at parse trees by changing the grammar. I'd be happy to take a
patch cleaning up sqlbison.y thoroughly.

I tried it locally, it worked, I pushed happily. After getting up in
the morning, I discover it has annoying consequences for LibreOffice
as a whole. <sigh> Obviously, this can change the cost / benefit
analysis.
