5//! **Whether this engine actually checks the constraints it accepts** — the
6//! dialect's answer, and the one place the rendered DDL and the docs read it
7//! from.
8//!
9//! A `PRIMARY KEY` that is enforced and a `PRIMARY KEY` that is decoration look
10//! identical in a `CREATE TABLE`. On two of the engines Razeri renders for they
11//! are the second thing, and the dialect is where that fact is stated:
12//!
13//! - **`BigQuery`** has the words for it. `PRIMARY KEY (x) NOT ENFORCED` is the
14//!   only legal spelling — a bare `PRIMARY KEY` is refused — so the engine
15//!   itself makes the declaration honest.
16//! - **`Redshift`** has no such words. It accepts `PRIMARY KEY`, `FOREIGN KEY`
17//!   and `UNIQUE`, enforces none of them, and there is no keyword to say so. A
18//!   reader of that DDL has no way to tell it apart from `PostgreSQL`'s, which
19//!   is the near-neighbour trap in its purest form.
20//!
21//! So the seam carries two things: the engine's own **keyword**, where it has
22//! one, and a **note** the renderer writes above the constraint list, where it
23//! does not. Both are the dialect's words.
