I'm trying to understand why you think a user-defined notation is desirable,

why it wouldn't be better if the SQL standard would endorse a notation,

so we could all write code in the same way, avoiding ugly GUCs or PRAGMAs altogether?

If "in." would work, due to "in" being a reserved SQL keyword,

don't you think the benefits of a SQL standardized solution would outweigh our

personal preferences on what word each one of us prefer?
