I think the issue is identifying the problem. Reading the title of the
post, I think Tom says "no" to *deleting* the toast table. He also says
"no" to cleaning the table as part of DROP COLUMN. That still leaves you
an opening for an out-of-line command/function to perform a clean,
without deleting the table completely.
