Hi Peter. I was noticing that several of the SET keywords have redundant
elements. In this case, istm that

  SET FSYNC=ON;

would be adequate and preferred; the "ENABLE" is implied by the "ON" in
the last example. I realize that you are using a keyword style already
present, but perhaps for 7.1 we can shorten all of those keywords having
"ENABLE_"? 

Comments?
