If the body of material on writing good Postgres code becomes so
comprehensive that it doesn't all fit on one page:
a) I would see that as a positive!b) We can of course split it up into sub-articles.

I can't realistically suggest a "full list" since I am not an
experienced Postgres hacker.  But I would hope for, as a minimum:
* the stuff about good GETARG style,* something about using ereport() effectively, and writing
localization-friendly messages,* some actual coding style guidelines.
