Yes.
But, maybe things like full-fledged replication, savepoints/nested transactions,
out-of-transaction-scope cursors, and others must have priority over this; and
that mutating PG thread safe, will slow down a 7.3 release a lot, something not
wanted by many here.
Let's make a pro cons list of thread related aspectcs here. We saw a lot of
cons. Write some pros explicitely. We're not in a hurry anyway.
