This is one of many, many things that need work. It happens to be a
thing that requires a *lot* of work for, well, not so much payback
(certainly not a benefit you'd get every day you use Postgres).
Not to mention that it's a lot of pretty boring work.
So, personally, there are many other things that I will get to before
I worry about this. Sorry that my priorities don't square with yours,
but that's how it is. I'm not standing in the way of someone else
taking up the problem ...
