now are supposed to take some kind of lock on an index whenever you
are going to access the index contents, rather than relying only on a
lock on the parent table.

as CREATE INDEX did, and can be fixed the same way, for another small
improvement in usability and reduction in grammar size.

a separate production func_expr.  This allows us to accept all these
variants in the backwards-compatible syntax for creating a functional
index; which beats documenting exactly which things work and which don't.
Interestingly, it also seems to make the generated state machine a little
bit smaller.

creates no long-lasting problems.  Per discussion with Merlin Moncure.

This also adds debug build support to src/bin/psql/win32.mak.

didn't include a PQclear, but now it does and so these other ones are
duplicate.

This greatly helps threaded libpq programs.

Removed Oracle transaction syntax to fix shift/reduce error.

tweak by Neil Conway.

Jurka.

(1) Replace while loop with the new forboth() construct in
parser/analyze.c

(2) Replace lcons() with lappend() in SearchCatCacheList(). Since these
now have the same performance, there is no reason to prefer lcons() in
this case, and using lappend() leads to cleaner code.

(3) Improve the name of the second parameter to for_each_cell()

from another pointer type. Per C89, this is unnecessary, and it is common
practice throughout the rest of the tree anyway.
