IIRC the initially submitted patch for this contained a function written in
C. It was only afterwards converted to SQL because of a comment by someone
else. I will have a look in the archives.
What I would like to have is a function that returns the table size (+
toast) + indexes. If it would be called pg_table_size(), that would be ok.
We should have one with oid and another with text.
