I think the name of function pg_merge_when_clause() can be improved.
How about pg_merge_when_clause_ordinal().
That's a bit of a mouthful, but I don't have a better idea right now.
I've left the names alone for now, in case something better occurs to
anyone.
+1. How do we make sure we don't forget that it needs to be named
better. Perhaps a TODO item within the patch will help.
Thinking about that some more, I think the word "number" is more
familiar to most people than "ordinal". There's the row_number()
function, for example.
There is also the WITH ORDINALITY and FOR ORDINALITY examples.
So perhaps pg_merge_when_clause_number() would
be a better name. It's still quite long, but it's the best I can think
of.
How about pg_merge_match_number() or pg_merge_ordinality()?
