They don't have any significance in core SQL. What would we do with the 
lexeme?

ISTR we've used some hacks in the past to split lexemes into pieces, and 
presumably we'd have to do something similar with these.

The only thing that makes me nervous about this is that we're very close 
to Beta. OTOH, this is one area the regression suite should give a 
fairly good workout to.
