Is anyoune working on information schema (or pg_xxx views) for use in
psql and other development frontends?

Also, are there plans to have SQL-accessible backend_pid function in the
backend by default ?

On RH 7.1 I can create it as:

CREATE FUNCTION getpid() RETURNS integerAS '/lib/libc.so.6','getpid'
LANGUAGE 'C';

But I'd like it to be a builtin from the start so one can query it
without relying on libpq
