Indeed, there is no reduce conflict created by using a_expr, so I went
ahead and committed it. Also tidied the list-generating code a bit.
Stuff like

select * from int4_tbl where f1 not in (0,123455+1);

seems to work fine now.

Drew, if you don't want to wait around for 6.6 to fix this, you
should be able to just change the occurrences of AexprConst to a_expr
in the productions for in_expr_nodes: and not_in_expr_nodes: in
src/backend/parser/gram.y. I wouldn't advise trying to copy the current
gram.y into 6.5, since there are a bunch of other changes in it already...

regards, tom lane
