TBH I'd have to discourage you from expecting that such a patch would be accepted. ECPG is pretty much of a development backwater nowadays. We keep maintaining it because it's (mostly) not too much trouble thanks to the work that was done years ago to auto-generate its grammar from the main grammar. However, adding any sort of semantic analysis to it seems like it'd take an enormous amount of new C code that would then have to be kept in sync (by hand) with the backend parser. Testing such a thing seems like a big time sink as well. I seriously doubt that we'd be willing to take on such a maintenance burden. regards, tom lane
