Following our standard community development model, I've put this patch
onto our CommitFest list:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=432 and assigned
myself as the reviewer. I didn't look at this until now because I
already had some patch development and review work to finish before the
CommitFest deadline we just crossed. Now I can go back to reviewing
other people's work.

P.S. There is no pgsql-patch list anymore; everything goes through the
hackers list now.
