9.0 Release notes: query on "Allow comments..."

From

Hi

In the section "E.1.3.3. Object Manipulation" there is this item:
"Allow comments only on columns of tables, views, and composite
types, not other objects like indexes and TOAST tables"

I might be misunderstanding something, but as of 9.0b2 comments
can still be created for indexes?

You can still comment on the index, but not the columns thereof.

Aha, I see. :enlightenment:

How about something like this to make it clearer (the original
sentence make it sound like comments would be restricted
only to  columns of tables, views, and composite types):

"Allow comments on columns only for tables, views, and composite
types, but not for other objects like indexes and TOAST tables"
