I have found this thread:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/E1cq93r-0004ey-Mp%40gemulon.postgresql.org
It seems that comments from committers discouraged me to go on… :-) For
instance Robert wanted a "checker", which is basically harder than a
generator because you have to parse both sides and then compare.
Basically there was no consensus at the time (March 2017), so I gave up.
It seems that I even distroyed the branch I was working on, so the no
doubt magnificent perl script I wrote is also lost.
