I've been send a patch to the parser that changes the FETCH statement to not
accept an empty portal name anymore and and allows FETCH without IN/FROM.

First of all I really like to add this to ECPG since the different FETCH
syntax is a major compatibility problem. But I do not like to have ECPG's
parser accept the statement while the backend does not. Since this is not a
standard feature I wonder what others think about it.

My point of view is that I'd like to have as much compatibility as possible.

Michael
