CI should pass now. There were some changes in main that I had not rebased on. |

should this be all dialects instead? we don't seem to have special handling for generic and snowflake

We actually do have special handling for SnowflakeDialect and GenericDialect:
datafusion-sqlparser-rs/src/parser/mod.rs
Line 3814 in ce74e7f
(this is in main currently, not a change in this PR)
From what I know, only Snowflake and Databricks support this syntax. So I can expand the test to include Databricks as well. But I don't think it would make sense to run this test on dialects that don't support this syntax. What do you think?

I have added Databricks to the list of dialects to test for.

for the changes to the subscript behavior, we don't seem to have any new tests to accompany them?

These changes actually came from a failing test, but I will add some more tests to explicitly look for this behavior.

I have added some parse_array_subscript tests. I have verified that these catch the fixes made by these changes in subscript behavior.
