I'm not sure it's appropriate to get into a side-debate of the merits of
old-style implicit joins versus new-style explicit joins. Both are
supported by SQL standard and by Firebird.

The argument of which will get you shot depends on the shop you're at.
While I personally prefer explicit joins, my shop's standards dictate
implicit joins "for clarity". You should have seen the panic when I
used a full join, which can only be done explicitly! :o)
