Your job as a potential contributor to PostgreSQL is to make it as easy
as possible for others to test your code out and get good results. I
sent you some more detailed guidelines over the weekend as to what I
think you should do here to achieve that. You should wait until you've
gotten a private review from one of the two people who have volunteered
to help you out here before you submit anything else to the list.
Wasting the time of everyone in the community by sharing code that
doesn't mean any of the project guidelines is a very bad idea; please
don't do that again.
