Uh, I see you tried to do it in 2003:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20545.1068921919@sss.pgh.pa.us

and I see you doing it in 2005:

commit 7da8623a562d3f6c25363796ed3df086a4da4594
Author: Tom Lane <tgl(at)sss(dot)pgh(dot)pa(dot)us>
Date: Sun Jan 9 18:58:10 2005 +0000

Last batch of updates in response to 7.4 interactive docs comments.

I assumed you were still doing it, but I don't see anything post-2005,
so I am concerned we have not been doing it recently. Can someone
confirm this and perhaps do it for post-2005?
