You would have to fix the code first. :-)
I completely back down when it comes down to the suspected
intrusiveness of the change, causing too much upset. It's the idea
that the aliasing rules are not worth following, that caused me to
enter. Until a good patch is available, that is less intrusive than
what people are suspecting, nothing is going to change.
I suspect a patch to convert PostgreSQL to C++ wouldn't be
welcomed. Haha...
