Don't know about "urgent", but I made this request in May:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2012-05/msg00480.php

and at a certain point, waiting four months and discussing it repeatedly
just isn't an efficient use of my time.

It only took me 15 minutes to implement. I am guessing the complexity
of the Postgres infrastructure just makes the job much harder to
implement there.

This is a good example of why some organizations like cloud services,
where they can host things without waiting for the item to get to the
top of the IT TODO list.
