I was surprised to find that the tab character seems not to be treated
as whitespace by psql (7.1).  Is this a bug or a feature?  Specifically,
the following command fails if there is a tab (\t) between "bar" and "init":t:"

ezmlm=> create table foo (bar   int);
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near ";"

It succeeds if there is a space instead of a tab:

ezmlm=> create table foo (bar int);
CREATE
