Like all visitors from the Crab Nebula (except our leaders who are
genetically separate) I qualify as a novice when it comes to
Postgres.  What is more, the people (humans, that is) who need the
documentation the most are those who, well, need the documentation the
most.

Hence, if this were to be made available, it would be great if it was
novice speed.

Thanks everyone for even contemplating it.
