Thread: toasting for other varlena types

Tom,
   AFAICS,   only  "text",  "lztext"  and  all  arrays  are  yet   toastable.  Which of the other base types do we want
to have   in 7.1?
 
   Who else is willing to contribute to this?

All of the varlena ones ... although I'm wondering whether it's worth
marking numeric as toastable or not.  A numeric probably can't get
big enough to be worth toasting, no?

I've been a little distracted by other issues but am still planning to
turn the crank on the fmgr changes, and getting the rest of the varlena
types done seems to be the number-one priority there.
