I think the really important issue for this patch is the one discussed here:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CA+TgmoaiJK1svzw_GkFU+zsSxciJKFELqu2AOMVUPhpSFw4BsQ@mail.gmail.com

You raised an important issue there but never really expressed an
opinion on the points I raised, here or on the other thread.  And
neither did anyone else except the patch author who, perhaps
unsurprisingly, thinks it's OK.  I wish we could get more discussion
about that.
