"Should" being the operative word in that sentence. If you want to submit a patch to move us closer towards the SQL/PSM goal, I'm sure it will be welcome.

Sure. If we weren't all pointing in that general direction, we would probably have CONNECT BY instead of WITH RECURSIVE.
I don't understand, what CONNECT BY or WITH RECURSIVE ?
