Yeah, I'm kind of leaning that way too. I don't see how we can incorporate the symbolic values into any existing display paths without breaking applications that expect the old output. That being the case, it seems like we'd have "two ways to do it" indefinitely, which would add enough confusion that I'm not sure there's a net gain. In particular, I foresee novice questions along the lines of "I set foo to disabled, why is it showing as zero?". If we'd done it like this from the beginning, it'd have been great, but retrofitting it now is a lot less appealing. regards, tom lane
