That's a terrific idea, and, incidentally, just the sort of project that
might well suit a beginning hacker, since the code is pretty isolated.
Not sure how hard this would be to program, or what sort of overhead it
might impose to check for the case. My recollection is that psql's
table-layout code is pretty slow and ugly already ...
If people want speed they shouldn't use psql as a client anyway. I don't
see this as much of an obstacle.
