I think this entire line of patches should be reverted from the 9.3
branch, because it's not a bug fix, and arguably makes no sense.

I also think that these patches should be reverted from the master
branch, because they make no sense and don't actually address the bug
report. Adding an output length column might make sense as an
independent patch.
