No, he was inventing syntax that doesn't exist.
Which begs the question, how hard would it be to add that syntax? I
suspect it would be useful in cases besides sequences, and certainly
seems to be a lot less of a hassle than having to wrap stuff in an extra
function just to get that capability...
In all the internal purity and technical concerns it helps PostGreSQL to
have an easy migration path for MySQL refugees. Anyways I think its
quite clear that there is more need for a black box than a macro.
