Bruce,

Is this another one of those missed patches?

I saw this come across the Monday before the freeze at the latest. Indeed it
was this that made me stop rushing to get my C version of this in before the
freeze.

BTW, I don't know if anyone did read the code I posted for comments since there
weren't any comments made, but my version produced what I think of as a
normalised version of pg_group with the extra benefit that is was just a
frontend to a general function. If anyone finds it in the archives (bugger, I
think I've deleted the source tree since doing that) I'd still appreciate
comments on it. I posted it more for technical review/learning than for
inclusion in the source tree.
