Same data as JSON: GET /api/v1/messages/:b64id/commits the thread's linked commits as JSON, with link sources. API reference →
  1. Cope with indicator arrays that do not have the correct length.

This is an SQL-standard feature that allows creating columns that are
computed from expressions rather than assigned, similar to a view or
materialized view but on a column basis.

The plan to is implement two kinds of generated columns:
virtual (computed on read) and stored (computed on write).  This patch
only implements the virtual kind, leaving stubs to implement the stored
kind later.
