a web server doesn't have nearly the user interaction a database has. in a
database environment i can see the very real _possibility_ of there being 100+
codes under "User-related Information", especially over time as old events
become obsolete and new ones are created... in a quick count of user function
in the Postgrs User's Manual, i counted over 50 unique user functions.
if each of these is assigned an id, that's over half our space used already!
will we use those other <50 numbers?
it would be a shame to underallocate a numberspace now when we don't have to
face breaking anything (e.g. log parsers) than later on when we would. numbers
are cheap. at the begining anyhow.
