How about trailing commas in SQL?

OP is massively overthinking it. Add them to CREATE TABLE and SELECT queries would remove 99.9% of annoyances.

I get where they're coming from though. Having trailing commas work in some common cases but most other cases where there are commas would be weird and definitely result in confusion. More confusion that knowing that trailing commas aren't a thing in SQL, currently.

OP is one of 7 PostgreSQL core team members. That's kind of his job to massively overthink this :)
