That reminds me --- contrib/array is definitely obsolete now, and there
may be parts of the other contrib array- and aggregate-related modules
that are obsoleted by Joe's recent work.
I would like to kill contrib/array for 7.4, because it's one of the
GPL'd contrib modules that I was tasked to get rid of some time ago.
What I'm thinking of doing is removing the code, and replacing the
README with a note explaining how to convert contrib/array queries to
use the new mainstream syntaxes. That will give contrib/array users
a clue what they're supposed to do. In a release or three the README
could go away too.
Comments, objections?
Also, does anyone want to look for possible dead code in intagg and
so on?
regards, tom lane
