Thats a fair point, I agree with that. > I'm a bit hesitant about hardcoding pg_catalog here. That happens to be true, of course, but isn't actually enforced, I think. I think that could be left off.

With these changes and a pgindent run across it per Davids comment downthread, I've pushed this now. Thanks for review! I'm keeping a watchful eye on the buildfarm; francolin has errored in recoveryCheck which I'm looking into but at first glance I don't think it's related (other animals have since passed it and it works locally, but I'll keep digging at it to make sure). -- Daniel Gustafsson
