It's not about that, it's more like the features/require/provide concepts in Lisp, except that we're not using them to load files. The goal really is to avoid a feature matrix and a version policy with comparators, yet be able to depend on features that got implemented after the first release of an extension. > Would we need some registry? That being said, we still have a single namespace for extensions and their features, so a registry would help, yes. -- Dimitri Fontaine http://2ndQuadrant.fr PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
