No, it still won't work --- the current grammar specifies SubSelect not
select_clause as the kind of select you can put inside an expression.
Not sure what it would take to fix this; I have a feeling that just
changing the grammar wouldn't be good enough :-(. Better add it to the
TODO list:
* Support UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT in sub-selects
