I don't think there is one. I think the latest is what I posted in
https://postgr.es/m/202109061751.3qz5xpugwx6w@alvherre.pgsql (At least I
don't see any reply from Rahila with attachments after that), but that
wasn't addressing a bunch of review comments that had been made; and I
suspect that Amit K has already committed a few conflicting patches
after that.

Hmm, not sure if bison is going to like that. Maybe it's OK if
SEQUENCES is a fully reserved word? But nothing beats experimentation!
