cdbf9b328e Move docs about index cost estimation functions and writing a procedural 
language handler to the 'Internals' area, per my proposal of yesterday.
Clean up the trigger documentation a bit.  Push SPI chapter to the end
of its part, and reorder the Internals chapters into what seems a more
sensible order (at the moment anyway).

3fce18084b About section 8.5.1.5. ("Special Values"): 
I suggest adding LOCALTIMESTAMP and LOCALTIME to the first paragraph.
Maybe it should be phrased as:

  The following SQL-compatible functions can be used to obtain
  current datetime-related values: CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME,
  CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP.
  (See Section 9.8.4.)

0eceaaf9b7 Modify COPY FROM to match the null-value string against the column value 
before it is de-backslashed, not after.  This allows the null string \N
to be reliably distinguished from the data value \N (which must be
represented as \\N).  Per bug report from Manfred Koizar ... but it's
amazing this hasn't been reported before ...
Also, be consistent about encoding conversion for null string: the form
specified in the command is in the server encoding, but what is sent
to/from client must be in client encoding.  This never worked quite
right before either.
