I acknowledge your input, but I didn't think either of these was an
improvement over what David suggested.  I understand that many people
will know that "SELECT DISTINCT" and "WHERE x IS NOT DISTINCT FROM y"
means treat NULLs equally, but I don't think we should expect the
reader here to know that's what we're talking about.   In any case,
we're talking about existing wording here, not something David is
adding.
