The sole and only excuse for that misbegotten syntax is to be exactly
SQL spec compliant --- otherwise we might as well pick something saner.
So it needs to work like stdstr=on.  I thought Peter's proposal of
rejecting it altogether when stdstr=off might be reasonable.  The space
sensitivity around the & still sucks, but I have not (yet) thought of
a credible security exploit for that.
