Ok, so *that's* where the bit about the query plan being simple enough.
Based on that, ISTM that it should be premissable for us to decide that
a cursor requiring a sort isn't "simple enough" to support SCROLL.

In any case, here's a patch that makes the non-standard behavior easier
for people to find.

6c8e20ad1b there's a paragraph in the ALTER TABLE reference page that reads: 
DROP CONSTRAINT

    This form drops constraints on a table. Currently, constraints on tables
    are not required to have unique names, so there may be more than one
    constraint matching the specified name. All matching constraints will be
    dropped.

To my knowledge, it is no longer possible to create constraints with the
same name for the same relation. When you create a constraint and specify
the same name explictly, an error is raised. Implicit constraint creation
won't choose an existing name either and up to now you could not rename a
constraint. Renaming works with the patch I sent in a few hours ago but this
patch as well won't allow constraints with identical names on the same
relation.

The attached patch thus removes the note in the docs.

0ebd65ddd4 Since my name has a non-ascii-letter in it, it's often spelled wrong. In 
the latest release notes there is a latin1 character that shouldn't be
there so I made a patch to fix that. This patch also fixes some old
entries that uses o instead of &ouml; (which is also wrong but not as
bad as including a latin1 character in the sgml file).

dfdec60447 Allow to_char(interval) and to_char(time) to use AM/PM specifications. 
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.

Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours.  This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.

Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.

081ed99b1e We haven't seen any agreement emerge as to what is causing AIX 5.3 ML3 
to fail to successfully build the release candidates.

However, a patch has emerged (thanks, Seneca!) that does allow it to
work, and which I'd expect to be portable (better still!).

We are still actively pursuing why it breaks, but supposing that still
remains outstanding, at least the following would allow AIX users to
better survive a build...
