Re: Doing better at HINTing an appropriate column within errorMissingColumn()

Normally I'm not for adding gucs that just gate new features. But I think a
simple guc to turn this on or off would be fine and alleviate any concerns.
I think users would appreciate it quite a lot

It would even have a positive effect of helping raise awareness of the
feature. I often scan the list of config options to get an idea of new
features when I'm installing new software or upgrading.
