The following review has been posted through the commitfest application:
make installcheck-world: tested, passed
Implements feature: tested, passed
Spec compliant: not tested
Documentation: not tested

Patch looks good to me. Seems like a useful feature, and I agree that the two-pass implementation makes the change very easy to review.

Quick note on test coverage: gcov marks the "needle not found" branch (the one marked `/* special case if fldsep not found at all */`) as being completely uncovered. I don't think that needs to gate this patch; it looks like it was uncovered before this feature was added.

Doc builds are currently failing due to what appears to be an xmllint failure:

/usr/bin/xmllint --path . --noout --valid postgres.sgml
error : Unknown IO error
postgres.sgml:21: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"

but that doesn't have anything to do with this patch. Marking Ready for Committer. (I'm a little new to this myself, so someone please let me know if I'm jumping the gun.)

Thanks!
--Jacob

The new status of this patch is: Ready for Committer
