b2b6548c79 Please find attached diffs for documentation and simple regression
tests for the new interval->day changes. I added tests for
justify_hours() and justify_days() to interval.sql, as they take
interval input and produce interval output. If there's a more
appropriate place for them, please let me know.

58d214e51f Basic documentation for ROLEs. The user-manag chapter still needs to
be rewritten, but at least the reference pages are reasonably sane.

af019fb9ae Add a role property 'rolinherit' which, when false, denotes that the role
doesn't automatically inherit the privileges of roles it is a member of;
for such a role, membership in another role can be exploited only by doing
explicit SET ROLE.  The default inherit setting is TRUE, so by default
the behavior doesn't change, but creating a user with NOINHERIT gives closer
adherence to our current reading of SQL99.  Documentation still lacking,
and I think the information schema needs another look.

f9fd176461 Add pg_has_role() family of privilege inquiry functions modeled after the
existing ones for object privileges.  Update the information_schema for
roles --- pg_has_role() makes this a whole lot easier, removing the need
for most of the explicit joins with pg_user.  The views should be a tad
faster now, too.  Stephen Frost and Tom Lane.

db05f4a7eb Add 'day' field to INTERVAL so 1 day interval can be distinguished from
24 hours. This is very helpful for daylight savings time:

	      ?column?

37464a0326 Fix some bogosities in geometric-function documentation: add an entry
for circle(polygon), which was missing; remove bogus entry for
point(lseg, lseg), which does not exist, and the documentation seemed to
describe lseg_interpt, which we already document as an operator not a
function.  Also remove entry for box_intersect, which likewise is
preferentially used via the operator #.

d78397d301 Change typreceive function API so that receive functions get the same
optional arguments as text input functions, ie, typioparam OID and
atttypmod.  Make all the datatypes that use typmod enforce it the same
way in typreceive as they do in typinput.  This fixes a problem with
failure to enforce length restrictions during COPY FROM BINARY.

d1cffe2f77 Add --encoding to pg_dump.
The Problem:  Occassionally a DBA needs to dump a database to a new
encoding.   In instances where the current encoding, (or lack of an
encoding, like SQL_ASCII) is poorly supported on the target  database
server, it can be useful to dump into a particular  encoding.  But,
currently the only way to set the encoding of  a pg_dump file is to
change  client_encoding in postgresql.conf and restart postmaster.
This is more  than a little awkward for production systems.

75a64eeb4b I made the patch that implements regexp_replace again.
The specification of this function is as follows.

regexp_replace(source text, pattern text, replacement text, [flags
text])
returns text

Replace string that matches to regular expression in source text to
replacement text.

 - pattern is regular expression pattern.
 - replacement is replace string that can use '\1'-'\9', and '\&'.
    '\1'-'\9': back reference to the n'th subexpression.
    '\&'     : entire matched string.
 - flags can use the following values:
    g: global (replace all)
    i: ignore case
    When the flags is not specified, case sensitive, replace the first
    instance only.

59d1b3d99e Track dependencies on shared objects (which is to say, roles; we already
have adequate mechanisms for tracking the contents of databases and
tablespaces).  This solves the longstanding problem that you can drop a
user who still owns objects and/or has access permissions.
