Hmm... Personaly for me the original topic name is good enough.
But what I discover for myself is that we have pg_attrdef separately
from the pg_attribute. Why?
Is it time to join them? For not presented defaults it would be only
one bit per row(if we avoid "adsrc" as it is recommended), but for a
separate table it is 11 columns with two indexes now...
