Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying, and I apologize if I came across a bit
harsh even with the smiley.

I'm not sure it's worth it. I do like the property that pg_event
doesn't have to pull in the full set of headers. But I guess it's
quite confusing to have *one* place that doesn't use the #define. So I
guess if it does work to just pull int he required header then yes, we
should do it - but if it turns out that header causes any conflicts
with anything else we're doing in the file, then let's just skipp it.
