Hi Tom,

OK, got it.

Just to clarify, a break in this case is going to be the fact that we
are adding new functions, although inlined, correct? Or maybe
something else? I'm sorry this is the first time I encounter the
question of ABI compatibility in the context of Postgres, so I would
appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit.
