I don't have any opinion about the patches, obviously, but I'm
wondering whether there is, somewhere, an outline of what the _goals_
of this system are. If we have requirements that we can measure the
implementation against, we can know whether to throw away a particular
goal as being basically incompatible with the design of Postgres
(i.e. not an "enhancement" but a "reconception") or else as being
implementable with another approach.
