I agree the PostgreSQL source is very nice (for the most part), but I
think there could be more higher-level documentation of the internals.
For example, until a few days ago the access method API was completely
undocumented (in SGML, at least). Tom has now written some good docs for
it -- that's an example of the kind of improvement I'm talking about.
Having documents describing "how to add a new index type", "how to add a
new planner node", "how to add a new DML/DDL command", and so forth
would be cool.
