Hah, sorry. It's actually Davids proposal, but something like:

if (psql_version_is_numeric)
return /docs/psql_version/
else if (psql_version ends with 'devel')
return /docs/devel/
else
return /docs/{psql_version but with text stripped}/

So that e.g. 12beta would return "12", as would 12rc or 12alpha. But
12devel would return "devel".
