Yes, it might be a better way to develop this feature on reflection.

I'm sorry that I could not submit a proposal by the feature freeze
date of v8.3 unfortunately, so the development of SE-PostgreSQL
(based on v8.2) is overlapped with development cycle of v8.3.

I don't want to repeat same thing twice, so these series of patches
are submitted fot v8.4 development cycle.
The first two of them ([1/4] and [2/4]) are significant part of
SE-PostgreSQL. We can discuss rest of them later. They contains
utility extension and security policy.
