I understand your bang theory perfectly :) I just wanted to know if there
were plans to fix this.

I just looked at the TODO list at
http://developer.postgresql.org/todo.php and found the section with
inherited ref. constraints in the Indexes section.

On the TODO page it says: "A hyphen, "-", marks changes that will appear in
the upcoming 8.1 release.", but none of the items are marked with a hyphen.
I guess this TODO page needs to be updated.

Thanks.
