The ERROR message isn't a bug, it is an unimplemented feature.
Regrettably the developer that did the original work did not include
this requirement in his design. I wish that they had.
Sometime there is some confusion over the way things work with
PostgreSQL. There is no central development team working on features,
they are mostly donated by various companies, or worked on by
contributors employed by companies. So the way it works is you either
implement it yourself, or find/pay someone that can develop and
support that for you. Many contributors started by "scratching their
own itch", as its often described, that can be interesting work. You
may already have a company contact if you are working with one of the
professional companies around PostgreSQL. If so, please remind them
this is not a bug.
