INSERT ... RETURNING in 8.2

Hi -

I've searched the email archives, and the last I saw INSERT ... RETURNING
referenced was last March. I had two questions:

1) will this feature make it in 8.2?
2) is there a timeline for 8.2?

BTW, while searching for "insert returning", I noticed an invalid hit (the url
goes to a different message about a concurrency type). I dunno if this is
indicative of a larger problem.

...With the current timeline, I`ll have hierarchical queries, nonrecursive
introspective sort, and insert/update/delete returning ready for 8.2.  Jonah H.

Unless someone else picks it up, it won't make it.  I had updated
Omar's patch to the 8.2 codebase and submitted it to -patches.  While
working on it a bit later, I found that there are big problems with it
such that it really should be rewritten from scratch.  If someone is
willing to take it on, I'd be glad to discuss the issues though.
