Peter, I am confused how the above statement relates to a posting you
made a week ago:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-09/msg01067.php
Now these items are arguably useful and welcome features in their own
right. Unfortunately, this patch has chosen to provide these features in
a way that makes them accessible to the least amount of users. And
moreover, it bunches them all in one feature, while they should really
be available independently.
