Just a few clarifications:
* The reason it didn't go to -hackers was because I wasn't subscribed to it
and hence couldn't post to it. The only reason I can now is because I
subscribed (nopost) about 2 minutes ago.
* I discussed this with Tom Lane on -general a few days ago. I'm not sure
how many people saw that though. Are most of the people on -hackers
subscribed to -general as well?
* I agree with Tom's assertion that it's an awful lot of complexity for such
a marginal gain. Look at the size of the patch and the fact that it has all
been useless for the last few years.
* I didn't send it to -patches because it's not ready yet.
* Only posted a URL, not the patch itself. Sorry for the confusion.
Tom actually suggested doing this at the same time as re-enabling partial
indices but I favoured a separate patch considering the large number of
scattered changes.
Anyway, is there a concensus, or shall I forget the whole thing?
