You might want to consider the steps that are most successful at getting
Postgres patches accepted:

        https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo
        Desirability -> Design -> Implement -> Test -> Review -> Commit

In this case, you have jumped right to Implement.  Asking about
Desirability first can avoid a lot of effort.

Thanks Bruce, that's really helpful. I was building on the discussion in Jim's 
original thread, which is why I went ahead with another POC implementation, 
but I do consider this implementation as part of the desirability/design aspect 
and am hoping to get input from the community to shape this proposal/patch.
