drop if exists

From time to time the suggestion crops up of allowing a DROP IF EXISTS ... syntax. This seems not unreasonable, and I just spent a few minutes looking at what might be involved. Especially in the case of a table, view, sequence and index the changes look like they would be very modest indeed, and not enormously greater in the case of a type, domain, conversion and schema.

Is this worth doing? Would it be acceptable?

cheers
