Hi,
here's a fix for a _very_ longstanding bug in PostgreSQL.
According to SQL:2003 DEFAULT may only contain
certain functional expressions and constant literals.
Please, note the year of the standard. Or I know a better one,
PostgreSQL is not even SQL92 compliant in this regard, after 14 years!

Please review and apply immediately.
Or not, it's just a bitter and late (because of my bitterness) response
to the rejection of my IDENTITY/GENERATED patches.
Where's the much praised standard behaviour on standard syntax?
So much for hypocrisy.
