Hi,

Responding to a recent report on -general [1] I found a markup bug in the
primary key description under create table.  0001 fixes this.

The complaint itself was about using "column constraint" as a descriptive
label in a syntax area when "column constraint" is an actual defined syntax
label.  0002 adds the word "variant" to the six places "(table/column
constraint)" is used in this manner.
