3. modularization (In my experience, that in and of itself is a

I haven't looked at enough of the postgres code to be anything even, in
any small way, an expert, but I have found that having someone approach
a problem from a new perspective, when viewed with an open mind is never

could be very useful even if it isn't for what he originally intends.
Just my $0.01 ( I can no longer afford a full $0.02)
