Tom Lane 2c92edad48 Allow type_func_name_keywords in some places where they weren't before.
This change makes type_func_name_keywords less reserved than they were
before, by allowing them for role names, language names, EXPLAIN and COPY
options, and SET values for GUCs; which are all places where few if any
actual keywords could appear instead, so no new ambiguities are introduced.

The main driver for this change is to allow "COPY ... (FORMAT BINARY)"
to work without quoting the word "binary".  That is an inconsistency that
has been complained of repeatedly over the years (at least by Pavel Golub,
Kurt Lidl, and Simon Riggs); but we hadn't thought of any non-ugly solution
until now.

Back-patch to 9.0 where the COPY (FORMAT BINARY) syntax was introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
