Well, for example, once a CREATE RULE has been seen, ecpg will accept
'old' and 'new' in all subsequent statements, because QueryIsRule is
never reset. FoundInto is reset, but in the wrong place, meaning that
"CREATE TABLE/AS SELECT may not specify INTO" might be triggered
inappropriately, or not triggered when it's supposed to be.

My advice would be to eliminate both variables and leave it to the
backend to make the corresponding error checks.

BTW, I just committed some ecpg changes to modify the way
case-conversion of keywords is done, to keep it in line with the
backend. You'd said you wanted notification of such things ...
