The point is that this *is* silly, but I am at a loss to understand why it isn't a no-brainer to change. Why is there a fight over a trivial change which will ensure that PostgreSQL aligns to the documented behavior of "open()"
(Why characterise this as a "fight", rather than a discussion? Perhaps it is because of the same combative, adversarial attitude you seem to bring to every discussion you're involved in on -hackers...)
Anyway, I agree, there's no point keeping it a short; I highly doubt this would actually be a problem, but we may as well change it to an int.
