Mandatory AS keyword in SELECT statements

Hi,

We are currently trying to migrate an Oracle database to PostgreSQL.
Unfortunately, the Java application that access the database does not
use the AS keyword to alias column names in select statements.

Thus, the following statement "SELECT col1 alias1 FROM any_table" fails.

AFAIK, AS is optional according to SQL Standard.
Is there a way to workaround this behaviour, as it will be not possible
for us to modify the application ?
Is there a plan to support this in future PostgreSQL releases ?

I apologize in advance if this question has already been submited, I was
not able to find some threads discussing this point.

Thanks for your help,
Best Regards,
Vincent
