I got a really bad error message in postgres on a CREATE TABLE in 8.1.0:

ERROR: column "id" referenced in foreign key constraint does not exist

That seems odd-- I mean, I know I obviously made an error. I'm just
used to more detailed errors.

I didn't see anything in the changelogs since 8.1.0 saying that it
was addressed-- I could have missed that-- but it also might not have
been.

So... where can i complain that the error message should include the
field name I tried to toss the references constraint in ?
