Hackers,
 
do you think we should implement some of the functions offered by Amazon Redshift?

 

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_SQL_functions.html

 

Amazon Redshift is completely based on PostgreSQL, but they have implemented some features not currently available in PostgreSQL.
Given the fact that it's a successful customer-driven commercial project, one can easily guess that the functions they implemented are useful and requested by many users.
