Yeah, I think it's sensible to define that there is just one SET variant
that replaces both the list-of-tables and the list-of-schemas. (Of
course, the syntax for it has to permit both lists to be written.)
You could imagine having two independent SET commands for the two lists,
but that seems fairly confusing.
