Following our standard community development model, I've put this patch 
onto our CommitFest list:  
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=432 and assigned 
myself as the reviewer.  I didn't look at this until now because I 
already had some patch development and review work to finish before the 
CommitFest deadline we just crossed.  Now I can go back to reviewing 
other people's work.

P.S. There is no pgsql-patch list anymore; everything goes through the 
hackers list now.
