I'm saying that while the code is probably behaving as the person
who contributed it to PostgreSQL intended, it appears not to comply
with the current standard.  The PostgreSQL community generally makes
a pretty good effort toward conforming to standards.  If it's
relatively easy to make it conform to the standard, someone will
probably just do it.  (Heck, it could even be me.)  If it's a lot of
work, someone who needs the feature may have to take on the burden
of the change, either by offering a patch to implement it or paying
someone to do so.

Hence the request for the stack trace.  Most people have a pretty
full plate, and aren't eager to volunteer their time to work on
something which might not actually help anyone.
