Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the existing ALTER TABLE and ALTER COLUMN handling for PostgreSQL expression syntax and its tests. Done means the three listed SET DEFAULT, SET EXPRESSION AS, and DROP EXPRESSION forms are supported, including IF EXISTS where shown, with coverage for each form.
