While they're limited, there are complexly viable prototype quality 
implementations possible here without a large amount of work to get them 
started.  I'm not worried too much about this feature being unused.  As 
I was just reminded when assembling an page on the wiki about it:  
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Materalized_Views it's currently ranked 
#1--by a large margin--on the UserVoice feature request survey that 
Peter kicked off.
