Review Comment:
   Would your proposal be for a `drop catalog external_catalog (restrict)` to 
just drop the connection? I was thinking 'well this should fail since the 
catalog is not empty', but I guess that's in line with `drop table 
external_table` simply forgetting the table and not actually deleting the 
backing file.
