    Allow NumericOnly to be "+ FCONST". · ce509452
    Tom Lane authored
    The NumericOnly grammar production accepted ICONST, + ICONST, - ICONST,
    FCONST, and - FCONST, but for some reason not + FCONST.  This led to
    strange inconsistencies like
    
    regression=# set random_page_cost = +4;
    SET
    regression=# set random_page_cost = 4000000000;
    SET
    regression=# set random_page_cost = +4000000000;
    ERROR:  syntax error at or near "4000000000"
    
    (because 4000000000 is too large to be an ICONST).  While there's
    no actual functional reason to need to write a "+", if we allow
    it for integers it seems like we should allow it for numerics too.
    
    It's been like that forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.
