Doesn't SQL IDENTITY have a number of properties that are significantly
different from serial/nextval?  I wasn't really volunteering to
implement a large new feature to make this happen ;-)

Also, I'm not sure how "black boxy" it can be without buying right back
into the pg_dump problems.  pg_dump has to be able to see what's inside,
I think.
