While looking through the code I found an already existing alter table drop
column in src/backend/parser/gram.y.  However, when I try to run it in psql
it comes back with a not implemented.  Was the left hand not talking to the
right hand when this was coded or is there more to this?

IIRC, it was not enabled pending further discussion of the behavior.

As to 'DROP COLUMN', I neglected to remove _DROP_COLUMN_HACK__
stuff which has no meaing now sorry. I would remove it after
the 7.2 release.
