This seems like a good plan.  As a procedural issue, please post
patches one and two on the same thread (perhaps this one), because
they can't be considered in isolation.  Each of the remaining patches
should be posted to its own thread.

I've moved the SQL/MED patches to CommitFest 2011-01, and created a
topic for them, SQL/MED, since it seems like we'll end up with a bunch
of them to review.
