Hi.

Sorry I took so long to post a review of this patch. I'm afraid it
tempted me to digress into figuring out how WITH RECURSIVE works. :-)

I don't have much to say about the patch, though: it applies to HEAD and
builds cleanly, passes "make check", and has suitable documentation with
an example. The code looks fine.

I'm marking it ready for committer.
