I like that idea. There may be a lot of MySQL people that want to use
the next postgresql release, and this would make it easier.

Please add the patch to the next commitfest:

https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/commitfest_view?id=6

It's small enough that, if others like it as well, maybe it (or
something similar) could still make it in this release.
