array upper/lower bound: missing doc updates, otherwise seems okay.

\pset pager always: I thought we had rejected that idea in favor of
making the whether-to-use-pager decision pay attention to width as
well as number of lines.

temp tables: difficult to comment on a message that does not include the
proposed patch.

CLUSTER ALL patch: I have a problem with this, specifically the fact
that it changes CLUSTER into a multi-transaction operation. That
renders CLUSTER non-rollbackable and not callable from functions.
After all the work we went to to make CLUSTER rollbackable, this seems
like a giant step backward.

CREATE SEQUENCE syntax changes: did we decide whether SQL99's notion of
a sequence is close enough to ours that migrating to their syntax would
be a good idea, and not just a source of confusion? I seem to recall
some doubts being voiced about this (by Peter?), and I'm not sure we
resolved them.
