There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation.  Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE.  Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

eliminating the former hard-wired convention about their names.  Allow
pg_cast entries to represent both type coercion and length coercion in
a single step --- this is represented by a function that takes an
extra typmod argument, just like a length coercion function.  This
nicely merges the type and length coercion mechanisms into something
at least a little cleaner than we had before.  Make use of the single-
coercion-step behavior to fix integer-to-bit coercion so that coercing
to bit(n) yields the rightmost n bits of the integer instead of the
leftmost n bits.  This should fix recurrent complaints about the odd
behavior of this coercion.  Clean up the documentation of the bit string
functions, and try to put it where people might actually find it.
Also, get rid of the unreliable heuristics in ruleutils.c about whether
to display nested coercion steps; instead require parse_coerce.c to
label them properly in the first place.

until Bind is received, so that actual parameter values are visible to the
planner.  Make use of the parameter values for estimation purposes (but
don't fold them into the actual plan).  This buys back most of the
potential loss of plan quality that ensues from using out-of-line
parameters instead of putting literal values right into the query text.

This patch creates a notion of constant-folding expressions 'for
estimation purposes only', in which case we can be more aggressive than
the normal eval_const_expressions() logic can be.  Right now the only
difference in behavior is inserting bound values for Params, but it will
be interesting to look at other possibilities.  One that we've seen
come up repeatedly is reducing now() and related functions to current
values, so that queries like ... WHERE timestampcol > now() - '1 day'
have some chance of being planned effectively.

extensive change then what was suggested. I found the file path.c that
contained a lot of "Unix/Windows" agnostic functions so I added a function
there instead and removed the PATHSEP declaration in exec.c altogether. All
to keep things from scattering all over the code.

I also took the liberty of changing the name of the functions
"first_path_sep" and "last_path_sep". Where I come from (and I'm apparently
not alone given the former macro name PATHSEP), they should be called
"first_dir_sep" and "last_dir_sep". The new function I introduced, that
actually finds path separators, is now the "first_path_sep". The patch
contains changes on all affected places of course.

I also changed the documentation on dynamic_library_path to reflect the
chagnes.

As a side effect, cause subscripts in INSERT targetlists to do something
more or less sensible; previously we evaluated such subscripts and then
effectively ignored them.  Another side effect is that UPDATE-ing an
element or slice of an array value that is NULL now produces a non-null
result, namely an array containing just the assigned-to positions.

of a composite type to get that type's OID as their second parameter,
in place of typelem which is useless.  The actual changes are mostly
centralized in getTypeInputInfo and siblings, but I had to fix a few
places that were fetching pg_type.typelem for themselves instead of
using the lsyscache.c routines.  Also, I renamed all the related variables
from 'typelem' to 'typioparam' to discourage people from assuming that
they necessarily contain array element types.

reorganization processing, and it is clearer without the dash anyway.

environment variable processing to libpq.

The patch also adds code to our client apps so we set the environment
variable directly based on our binary location, unless it is already
set. This will allow our applications to emit proper locale messages
that are generated in libpq.

Specifically, point out that intersecting points in a path will yield
(most likely), unexpected results.  Visually these are identical paths,
but mathematically they're not the same.  Ex:

  area |                                           plan
------
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
    -0 | ((0,0),(0,1),(2,1),(2,2),(1,2),(1,0),(0,0))
     2 | ((0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2),(2,2),(2,1),(1,1),(1,0),(0,0))

The current algorithm for area(PATH) is very quick, but only handles
non-intersecting paths.  I'm going to work on two other functions for
the PATH data type that determines if a PATH is intersecting or not,
and a function that returns the area() for an intersecting PATH.  The
intersecting area() function will be considerably slower (I think it's
going to be O(n!) or worse instead of the current O(n), but that comes
with the territory).

of bug report #1150.  Also, arrange that the object owner's irrevocable
grant-option permissions are handled implicitly by the system rather than
being listed in the ACL as self-granted rights (which was wrong anyway).
I did not take the further step of showing these permissions in an
explicit 'granted by _SYSTEM' ACL entry, as that seemed more likely to
bollix up existing clients than to do anything really useful.  It's still
a possible future direction, though.
