This seems to be the recent one, which is probably what was in the
back of my mind when I decided to spend some spare time on this
project: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-07/msg01008.php

There's no specific API discussion in either of the referenced threads
though - just some vague hand waving and opining about what it should
do and how it should look (pretty much all of which is covered by my
patch).

Oh, and apologies to Jaime who I just noticed had volunteered to work
on this :-(
