There is a huge difference between adhering to a standard and limiting yourself to a standard. The real question is whether PostgreSQL's goal is to support SQL standards, or whether PostgreSQL's goal is to give PostgreSQL users a useful set of tools.
There are literally _hundreds_ of fields we could add to the information_schema. Either we add them all or we add none of them.
Well, if we add them (and they would be very useful I reckon) should we ensure there's an obvious PG naming thing happening?
i.e. pg_column_comment
or similar? Maybe not "pg_" but you know what I mean.
