Slightly off-topic, but I really think we would benefit from trying to
divide up contrib. Right now it's a mixture of (a) debugging and
instrumentation tools (e.g. pgstattuple, pageinspect, pgrowlocks,
pg_freespacemap, pg_buffercache), (b) server functionality that is
generally useful but considered worth including in core (e.g. hstore,
citext, pg_trgm), (c) deprecated modules that we keep around mostly
for hysterical reasons (tsearch2, xml2, intagg), and (d) examples and
regression test support (dummy_seclabel, spi, start-scripts). I think
it would make things a lot easier for both packagers and actual users
if we separated these things into different directories, e.g.:
debugging and instrumentation tools -> src/debug
server functionality -> contrib
server functionality (deprecated) -> contrib/deprecated
examples & regression test suport -> src/test/examples
