Hmm, I don't see any WIP patch from you -- are you talking about this patch from July 2019? https://postgr.es/m/CA+A-St+NntBh2EGu3a0xbVxJFzaeEOn=vn_v84ouhm59_hk...@mail.gmail.com Funnily enough, we have an even older proposal from 2016, https://postgr.es/m/[email protected] It seems this is quite a popular missing feature, as Marko's patch was also asked about in February 2019: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected] -- Álvaro Herrera Breisgau, Deutschland — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/
