I am glad to here that there is a specification discussed. This would be a great help in administration and organization tasks (for example when working with a very large database using the pgadmin tool).
I wish I were in a position for assisting with the code or funding but unfortunately am not.
Thank you for considering and I am hoping that interest in this increases and over the near-term horizon.
