I looked over this again and I think the patch is in good shape to be committed.

One thought that occurred to me was whether it would be better for the
psql describe output (and maybe also pg_dump) to explicitly output
"virtual" for columns of this kind. I know that that's the default for
generated columns, but someone reading the output might not know or
remember that, so perhaps it would be helpful to be explicit.

Dean
