FWIW, it seemed like a moderately reasonable idea to me. But it
troubles me that you didn't get positive responses; as you say, no
point in maintaining the feature unless people will use it.
Perhaps you should bring it up on pgsql-interfaces, which seems like
the most likely place to discuss such a feature.
