Hi Stephen,

What about synchronous_standby_names? Logical replication ignores it and
doesn't wait for ack's from replicas or something?

Completely agree, this project can be an improvement for Stolon (or
Patroni, but I personally never tested or used it, also I got a feeling
that Google guys will prefer a project that is written in Go). This
would make much more sense.

I don't see why we can't have both procedures and operators like:
```
x -> 'field1' -- returns int
x ->> 'field2' -- returns string
```
The reason why some users may prefer procedures to operators is
that it's easy to make a typo in a field name. Procedures are safer in
this regard.
