It has been on the open items. In fact, it is the only hot item, except
for the 'pg args' thing, which is not as hot.

It is serious breakage, in the sense that if we don't fix it, we must
remove reference to the new SERIAL type.

As to why no one fixed it earlier, ...? Must be the same reason 'ps
args' is not fixed. :-)
