I didn't, but Heikki, Kevin and Tom seem to be on the other side, so
we at least have to consider where to go with it. We're going to need
a bunch of GUCs any way we slice it. The issue is whether there's a
way to slice it that involves fewer AND and OR operators that have to
be understood by users. I'm still unconvinced of our ability to come
up with a solid design in the time we have, but I think it would make
sense to listen to proposals people want to make. I poked some holes
in Heikki's design from this morning (which was, more or less, my
design from last week) but that doesn't mean they can't be plugged.
