Actually, there *is* a bug in the description, because experimentation
shows that CREATE DOMAIN accepts NULL in this syntax (as advertised)
but ALTER DOMAIN does not. We could alternatively decide that that's
a code bug and make ALTER DOMAIN take it, but I don't think it's worth
any effort (and this behavior may actually have been intentional, too).
I think we should just add
where domain_constraint is:
[ CONSTRAINT constraint_name ]
{ NOT NULL | CHECK (expression) }
to the ALTER DOMAIN page, and then remove the claim that it's
identical to CREATE DOMAIN.
