That, and the fact the JDBC is already doing it the other way. A reasonable compromise might be to accept either one. AIUI, part of what Alexander was aiming for here was to "unite the clans", so to speak, and it would seem a bit unfriendly (and certainly counter-productive as regards that goal) to pull the rug out from him by refusing to support that syntax over what is basically a supermassive bikeshed.
