Actually, if the alternative is having the pieces outside of core where
Tom never sees them, I'd vote for (b), as the optimizer already kicks ass
but having Tom review other code is pretty invaluable.

Code outside of core, is, in reality, less reviewed, less likely to work
well with recent PG versions, and more likely to cause problems. It's also
less likely to be found by people, less likely to be used by people, and
less likely to be included by distros. Not to say that everything should get
shoved into core, of course, but there are strong arguments for both sides.
