I agree that it could be improved. The best way to move such improvement
forward is to advance the discussion on -hackers. Start with this thread
here:

    http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-07/msg01115.php

and see if you have anything to add, or see if you can find related
discussions. The main point is that -bugs is usually for short
discussions about fixing defects that were just discovered, and -hackers
is better for problems without an obvious solution, where discussion is
required.
