Yeah, I think we'd have to convert all the supported versions to make this palatable. If the conversion is sufficiently automated, that might not be a big lift. (If it's *not* automated, I think the change would never get off the ground even for HEAD, because the docs are too much of a moving target.) regards, tom lane
