As I originally posted, if we're going to do this I think we should do it *EVERYWHERE* commas are used as delimiters,
saveCOPY input and output. Or we should at least get close to doing it everywhere. I think the only way things could
getmore annoying is if we accepted extra commas in SELECT but not in CREATE TABLE (as one example).
To me completeness is more important than whether we do it or not; that said, I like the idea (as well as supporting
leadingextra commas).
