1bd22f55cf Disallow dollar sign in operator names, instead allow it as a non-first
character in identifiers.  The first change eliminates the current need
to put spaces around parameter references, as in "x<=$2".  The second
change improves compatibility with Oracle and some other RDBMSes.  This
was discussed and agreed to back in January, but did not get done.

e9cda08b2b Brief note about sequence cache not being cleared in other backends.
Actually clear the cache in the backend making the alteration.  This
follows in the footsteps of setval().

8bfe93c5c8 pg_dump and pg_restore were stripping quotes and downcasing some but
not all SQL identifiers taken from command line arguments.  We decided
years ago that that was a bad idea: identifiers taken from the command
line should be treated as literally correct.  Remove the inconsistent
code that has crept in recently.  Also fix pg_dump so that the combination
of --schema and --table does what you'd expect, namely dump exactly one
table from exactly one schema.  Per gripe from Deepak Bhole of Red Hat.

e649796f12 Implement outer-level aggregates to conform to the SQL spec, with
extensions to support our historical behavior.  An aggregate belongs
to the closest query level of any of the variables in its argument,
or the current query level if there are no variables (e.g., COUNT(*)).
The implementation involves adding an agglevelsup field to Aggref,
and treating outer aggregates like outer variables at planning time.

9fbd52808e Adopt latest bison's spelling of 'syntax error' rather than 'parse error'

fc8d970cbc Replace functional-index facility with expressional indexes. Any column
of an index can now be a computed expression instead of a simple variable.
Restrictions on expressions are the same as for predicates (only immutable
functions, no sub-selects).  This fixes problems recently introduced with
inlining SQL functions, because the inlining transformation is applied to
both expression trees so the planner can still match them up.  Along the
way, improve efficiency of handling index predicates (both predicates and
index expressions are now cached by the relcache) and fix 7.3 oversight
that didn't record dependencies of predicate expressions.
