I forgot to mention that there was a discussion on Hackers about this:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg01182.php
I have implemented a solution following the idea of
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg01198.php
because I thought that it was better to have something existing to
talk about.
