My compiler is complaining about 1fa9241b:

../postgresql/src/backend/commands/sequence.c: In function ‘DefineSequence’:
../postgresql/src/backend/commands/sequence.c:196:21: error: ‘coldef’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  196 |   stmt->tableElts = lappend(stmt->tableElts, coldef);
      |                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This went away when I added a default case that ERROR'd or initialized
coldef to NULL.
