For the record, I think so too ;-). The agreed-on TODO wording makes no
mention of what an acceptable implementation would look like, and that's
because there very possibly *is* no generally-acceptable implementation.
(Though if someone has a bright new idea, I'm sure we'd all listen.)
The point of the TODO entry is just to acknowledge that this is an issue
for some folk, and that a real solution would be welcomed.

regards, tom lane
