Fwiw I always thought it was strange how much of our bootstrap was
done in a large static text file. Very little of it is actually needed
for bootstrapping and we could get by with a very small set followed
by a bootstrap script written in standard SQL, not unlike how the
system views are created. It's much easier to type CREATE OPERATOR and
CREATE OPERATOR CLASS with all the symbolic names instead of having to
fill in the table.
