BTW, project standard is to spell that like

> +	if (strcmp(oprName, "=>") == 0)

The other way looks confusingly like a "not equal" test.

> +				(errmsg("The use of => as an operator name is deprecated and may be disallowed in a future release.")));

Also, this doesn't follow message style guidelines.  Possibly better:

	errmsg("=> is deprecated as an operator name"),
	errdetail("This name may be disallowed altogether in future versions of PostgreSQL.")
