(2) The information_schema is good but not sufficient. It either needs 
more info as suggested by this thread or we need an extended version for 
Pg specifically.

(1) I can't see anyone in their right mind on the user space / support 
of users side arguing against the need for more information about 
PostgreSQL and the way it interacts.

(3) If we can use the information_schema let's do so. However it should 
not be a stopping block.
