View definition formatting

Hi all,

When using pg_get_viewdef(oid), the view definition is returned in a
reconstructed form (I assume) with all formatting removed. This is a
pain for apps like pgAdmin, that allow the user to edit their views,
particularly with very large ones.

Would it be possible and sensible to store the original view definition
for future use, such as we do for functions? Perhaps a new catalog
(pg_source?) could store these and other definitions such as rules for
use?

Regards, Dave.
