Is any committer thinking about taking a serious look at this patch series?

I ask because (1) it seems like it could be nice to have but (2) it
frightens me terribly. We are generally very sparing about assuming
that "stuff" (triggers, partial indexes, etc.) that works for user
tables can also be made to work for system tables. I haven't thought
deeply about what might go wrong in this particular case, but it
strikes me that if Haribabu Kommi is building something that is doomed
for some reason, it would be good to figure that out before he spends
any more time on it than he already has.

Apart from the issue of whether this is doomed for some architectural
reason, it is not entirely clear to me that there's any consensus that
we want this. I don't think that I understand the issues here well
enough to proffer an opinion of my own just yet... but I'd like to
hear what other people think.
