Thanks. I think I get it now.
To restate from another angle, to confirm my understanding: UPDATE
WHERE CURRENT OF is working for cursors with the name hard-coded in
the embedded statement, which is the only way cursor names were
allowed to be specified prior to 9.0; 9.0 implements dynamic cursor
names, allowing you to use a variable for the cursor name; but this
one use of a cursor name isn't allowing a variable yet. Do I have
it right? (If so, I now see why it would be considered a bug.)
