As some stupid spagetti commerical used to say, "It's in there":

* redesign the function call interface to handle NULLs better(Jan)

My suggestion is that we set up time to talk on the PostgreSQL irc
channel. I will be on with Thomas tonight after 10pm EST. We can set
up a separate time for you too.

You can poke around and ask questions, and we can both look at the code
and discuss it. I will assume you have already read the backend
flowchart and developers FAQ, so we can go over other items you may
have.
