Description:        Explain errors on drop table if exists
Details:

This syntax clearly works in the regular SQL pane and is outlined as
acceptable syntax in the manual.
Using PGAdminIII and the following query, I get this explain error:
Query result with 0 rows will be returned.

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "DROP"
LINE 91: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS work;
         ^
