Not really :-)

Yes, it will (another :-) )

Did you hear that Adam?

Not at all. It's good to plan ahead where possible. The one thing I've
learnt during the 7 (8?) years I've been writing pgAdmin, is that no
matter how much you look forward when writing the code, there will always
be something that causes grief later! Therefore I always try to think
ahead as much as possible.
