Do you mean yet another feature without a single non-regression test? :-(

I tend to rely on non regression tests to catch bugs in complex 
multi-purpose hard-to-maintain functions when the code is modified.

I have submitted a patch to improve psql coverage to about 90%, but given 
the lack of enthousiasm, I simply dropped it. Not sure I was right not 
to insist.

The patch has been asleep for quite a while, and was resurrected, possibly 
too late in the process. ISTM that fixing it for 14 is manageable, 
but this is not my call.
