I'm still waiting for 2 patches I sent to you to get applied.
Subjects where:

rewrite rules patch

Fix for pg_views/pg_rules and new system views

Do you need them again?

Still must tidy up the rewrite stuff and add the checks for
rules on select. But I would like the two patches applied
first to get in sync with CVS.

This requires the second patch, because it covers subselect
backparsing for pg_get_ruledef.

Will take a look at it.

Don't functional indices need an operator class too?
