I am sorry, but you cannot expect, so somebody will accept your proposal
extra seriously. Proposing some feature is a simple thing, but implementing
some not trivial feature requires hundreds of hours of development.

You can check the work on features for Postgres
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/ and I don't think so there is a lot of
free capacity for implementing some new features partially redundant to
already supported features.
