Neat!

We're currently focusing on stabilizing for PostgreSQL 9.5, but this
work is great and we'd like to make sure to review it for inclusion
post-9.5. Our process is that patches are posted to the mailing list
and then an entry is created on http://commitfest.postgresql.org which
references the mailing list post. This way, we won't forget about the
patch in a month or so, after we've branched off 9.5 and resumed
reviewing development work.

So, when you're ready for it to be reviewed for feedback, please post a
full patch against whatever current master is at the time, and register
the patch in the commitfest application.

Thanks!

Stephen
