I'm inclined to think "too late".  Even if we back-patched to v15
and earlier now, your extension would probably still want to be
compilable against earlier minor releases, so the back-patch
would not help you a lot.  Christoph's workaround of
"#define register" is probably the best answer for old PG versions,
or you can compile with "-Wno-register".
