One other point is that as long as we've got reserved keywords introducing

you write the USING or ON part first ...
+1 for allowing arbitrary order of clauses. I would document it with the
USING clause at the end, and have that be what psql supports and pg_dump
produces. Since there are no WITH options now we should leave that out
until it's required.
Ok, sounds good to me. Unless there are objections I'm going to have a
shot at implementing this. Thanks for the discussion.
Works for me. Do you also plan to remove the parentheses for the USING
clause?
