FOR loops are giving weird syntax errors. Restructure parsing of FOR

of a matching record/row variable name. Hopefully this will make the

about commutator marking for operators not returning boolean, at the moment,

Also, remove interval-minus-time and interval-minus-timetz operators.

leftmost n bits. This should fix recurrent complaints about the odd
