Well that's the thing, probably by what I described below that. Namely
get something working for 9.1 and after we know its good and solid see
if we can back patch it. Unfeasible? If its really really simple and
straight forward maybe we can find a -commiter willing to commit it
sooner. But I'm dubious. I think the feeling between me and Tim is
patching postgres is a last resort... Maybe if its to fix both sort
{} and this it might be worth it. (That's at least how I parsed what
you said :) ). Ill see if I can figure something out via straight
Safe tonight.
