Maybe you should undo that. I've generally found that trying to put
optimizations into the grammar is a bad idea; it's better to KISS in
gram.y and apply optimizations later on.

I do not like this. You are making what should be a small patch into
a giant, invasive one. I'd think about adding a single parse node type
that corresponds to "stmt" in the grammar and really doesn't do anything
but carry the location info for the overall statement. That info could
then be transferred into the resulting Query node. Problem solved with
(I think) very little code touched.
