I think he's remembering an earlier iteration. The mid-2003 patch I
cited is well past 7.3's release date, so it was surely inspired by
testing with a schema-aware PG.
My own recollection is that the other stuff we found in that test cycle
had to do with locale/collation features (eg per-column collation
options), and so there's no point in retesting until some progress is
made on that front ...
