Cool. Question - are all these little tricks documented somewhere? I'm
considering improving the source code section of the manual to include
HOWTOs for coding with Postgres - might attract more patches. I mean, if
I'd been given a list of all these things, with implementation examples,
beforehand it'd make my life a lot easier.

BTW - would you be able to comment on my earlier email regarding hints for
letting the executor handle rangevars from stored procedures???
