The docs list the following with the patch as supported grammar:
[ ENCRYPTED ] PASSWORD 'password' | PASSWORD NULL
And it seems to me that '|' has priority over '[]', so ENCRYPTED does
not apply to PASSWORD NULL if phrased this way.
Yes, the syntax block is perfectly clear but we still explain said grammer in words and should be precise there as well, IMO. Not a big deal though.
