that's a very interesting idea!

for now, our goal is to take the "easy" route with libpg_query and build a language server that provides basic lsp features for invalid sql, and advanced lsp features for valid sql as fast as possible. we then want to go back to the parser and replace the libpg_query-based approach with a more resilient alternative. as of now, the plan is to implement a handwritten recursive-descent statement by statement. will definitely do research to what extend we could leverage gram.y there, especially to potentially fast-track it.

If some annotations or such would make that easier, it might be possible to do that upstream. Postgres currently has hand-generated code for tab-completion in psql and that's uh, not great (it has gotten large enough that msvc has trouble compiling the file).
