Please do.  For something as complex as a table or view, CREATE OR
REPLACE is a lot more complicated than it is for simple objects like
functions.  (See flamewar just a couple weeks ago about C.O.R. vs
CREATE IF NOT EXISTS for tables.)  Putting this on the to-do list
for the GSOC project will just about guarantee failure.  It's most
likely too large a task for a GSOC project already...
