If there's still a chance to improve the patch, I'd love to see
the following INEs implemented. Several real-world database
upgrade scripts would benefit from those:

1)
CREATE [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] SEQUENCE [ IF NOT EXISTS ] name ...

2)
ALTER TABLE ... ADD [ COLUMN ] [ IF NOT EXISTS ] column_name ...

3)
CREATE [ UNIQUE ] INDEX [ CONCURRENTLY ] [ IF NOT EXISTS ] [ name ] ON ...

Volker
