I agree that the facility seems possibly useful, as long as we can minimize its platform dependency. Just embedding some strings, as I suggested upthread, seems like it'd go far in that direction. Yeah, you could spend a lot of effort to make it a bit more user friendly, but is the effort really going to be repaid? The use case for this isn't that large, I don't think. regards, tom lane
