For instance, with such a cluster-wise table, PLs will be able to
implement a _SHARED variable easily. And the reason that a plain user
level table wouldn't serve the same functionality is that, it's
database-wide, not cluster-wise... Umm... You look like right. PLs are
also database wide, why bothering with cluster wise stuff.

Sorry for flooding the ml. I thought a central dedicated table would
suit better than a plain table.
