to be kept in sync. Fix erroneous description of -S switch (it sets work_mem
not silent_mode), and do some light copy-editing elsewhere in postgres-ref.

of reverse-listing correctly (though it's still a de-escaping function
shy of correctness), generally try to make it look more like Postgres
coding conventions.
cases. Operator classes now exist within "operator families". While most
families are equivalent to a single class, related classes can be grouped
into one family to represent the fact that they are semantically compatible.
Cross-type operators are now naturally adjunct parts of a family, without
having to wedge them into a particular opclass as we had done originally.
This commit restructures the catalogs and cleans up enough of the fallout so
that everything still works at least as well as before, but most of the work
needed to actually improve the planner's behavior will come later. Also,
there are not yet CREATE/DROP/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands; the only way
to create a new family right now is to allow CREATE OPERATOR CLASS to make
one by default. I owe some more documentation work, too. But that can all
be done in smaller pieces once this infrastructure is in place.

enough to not need a catversion bump, but since the opr_sanity regression
test has to change in sync with the catalog entry, I figured I'd better
do one.
