A lot of the tasks listed under DATA TYPES are fairly self-contained
problems ... but what draws your interest? I think most of the tasks
that are on TODO are there either because they're hard problems, or
because nobody was very interested in them. Unfortunately they are
not
marked as to which is which :-(. Make a list of things you find
interesting, and we can tell you if they're very hard or already
claimed.

Hi Tom,
this is a list of things I'm interested in:
1) Allow administrators to safely terminate individual sessions
Right now, SIGTERM will terminate a session, but it is treated as
though the postmaster has paniced and shared memory might not be
cleaned up properly. A new signal is needed for safe termination.
This one seems hard.
2) Add a function that returns the 'uptime' of the postmaster
Seems like a good starting point.
3) Have SHOW ALL and pg_settings show descriptions for server-side
variables
Also a good one for you.
