The parser learns to recognize
CREATE TABLE .. TRANSFORM .. USING (..)
and de-sugars it into a
CREATE CONTINUAL TASK
statement. This allowsus to incrementally ship a smaller footprint than the full generality of
the feature. The statement remembers how it was typed in and we can have
separate feature flags, but otherwise planning etc only see this as a
normal CT.

Motivation
Tips for reviewer
Syntax very much a strawman that we'll want to hash out with sql-council. Inspired by
CREATE TABLE .. FROM SOURCE
, for which I think there are good parallels:TRANSFORM USING
for a source, etc.Checklist
$T ⇔ Proto$T
mapping (possibly in a backwards-incompatible way), then it is tagged with aT-proto
label.
