Implement SQL99 SIMILAR TO as a synonym for our existing operator "~".
Implement SQL99 regular expression SUBSTRING(string FROM pat FOR escape).
Extend the definition to make the FOR clause optional.
Define textregexsubstr() to actually implement this feature.
Update the regression test to include these new string features.
All tests pass.
Rename the regular expression support routines from "pg95_xxx" to "pg_xxx".
Define CREATE CHARACTER SET in the parser per SQL99. No implementation yet.

function body (and other properties) as a function in the language
is created. This generalizes ad hoc code that already existed for
the built-in languages.
The validation now happens after the pg_proc tuple of the new function
is created, so it is possible to define recursive SQL functions.
Add some regression test cases that cover bogus function definition
attempts.
GUC support. It's now possible to set datestyle, timezone, and
client_encoding from postgresql.conf and per-database or per-user
settings. Also, implement rollback of SET commands that occur in a
transaction that later fails. Create a SET LOCAL var = value syntax
that sets the variable only for the duration of the current transaction.
All per previous discussions in pghackers.
underlying function; but cause psql's \do to show the underlying
function's comment if the operator has no comment of its own, to preserve
the useful functionality of the original behavior. Also, implement
COMMENT ON SCHEMA. Patch from Rod Taylor.
to reset session userid to the originally-authenticated name. Also,
relax SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION to allow specifying one's own username
even if one is not superuser, so as to avoid unnecessary error messages
when loading a pg_dump file that uses this command. Per discussion from
several months ago.
