I'm not very happy with that at all, either as to the concept or the
specific version-alias names. I don't think that CREATE and ALTER
really need different default version targets. And those choices of
names carry far too much baggage. "Default" is what they are as far as
the system is concerned, but names like those imply a lot more.
Anybody else have an opinion on this detail?
