functions, which would lead to trouble with datatypes that paid attention
to the typelem or typmod parameters to these functions. In particular,
incorrect code in pg_aggregate.c explains the platform-specific failures
that have been reported in NUMERIC avg().
It will keep track the number of pages allocated so that
vacuum could allocate twice of the previous allocation.
This will greatly reduce the total memory consumption of
vacuum.
neqsel now behave as per my suggestions in pghackers a few days ago.
selectivity for < > <= >= should work OK for integral types as well, but
still need work for nonintegral types. Since these routines have never
actually executed before :-(, this may result in some significant changes
in the optimizer's choices of execution plans. Let me know if you see
any serious misbehavior.
CAUTION: THESE CHANGES REQUIRE INITDB. pg_statistic table has changed.
2. Much faster btree tuples deletion in the case when first on page
index tuple is deleted (no movement to the left page(s)).
3. Remember blkno of new root page in BTPageOpaque of
left/right siblings when root page is splitted.

One of the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And
to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should
not only be a builtin PL. Instead I would prefer a defined
interface for PL implemetations.
