I think that it is great that you want to contribute your work to
PostgreSQL. I don't know whether there will be a consensus that this
is generally useful functionality that we should accept, but I commend
the effort anyhow. Assuming there is, getting this into a state that
we consider committable will probably take quite a bit of additional
work on your part; no one will do it for you. If you're still
interested in proceeding given those caveats, please add your patch
here so that it gets reviewed:
