Argh, thanks.

OK, that would be similar to REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW.

The rules starting at line 4111 make me a bit nervous, since nowhere
we're restricting them to operating only on MERGE lines. I don't think
it's a real problem since USING is not terribly common anyway. Likewise
for the ones with WHEN [NOT] MATCHED. I kinda wish we had a way to
search for stuff like "keyword MERGE appears earlier in the command",
but we don't have that.
