I think we should add special syntax for this purpose, since I would like to
(or someone else later on) see all possible cases of "alter column" short 
circuited.

The syntax I would see fit is something like:
ALTER TABLE tab [MOVE] TABLESPACE xy;

For the above special case the tablespace would be the same as before.
