Hi, I think if CREATE ACCESS METHOD can be used for compression, then it
could be nicer than CREATE COMPRESSION METHOD. I just don't
know that compression could go as access method or not. Anyway
it's easy to change syntax and I don't mind to do it, if it will be
neccessary for the patch to be commited.
