If I believed that it would be a hundred-line patch, and would *stay*
a hundred-line patch, I'd be fine with it. But it won't. I will
bet a very fine dinner that the feature wouldn't get out the door
before there would be demands for pg_dump support. And arguments
about whether ALTER should or should not change the timestamp.
And I doubt you counted psql \d support in that hundred lines.
So this is just a can of worms that I'd rather not open.
