From what I've seen watching this list, you're usually right. :)
It looks like it's perfectly okay to write: SELECT pg_class.* AS foo FROM pg_class;
(with or without the AS)
I don't know what the above actually means, but it stops SELECT
pg_class.* EXCLUDING(...) dead in its tracks. So, I'd have to break a
syntax (albeit silly?) that currently works to support this. :(
