It's not a practical solution for people working with prebuilt Postgres
versions, which is most people.  I don't object to finding a way to
provide a "not-space" behavior instead of an "is-alnum" behavior,
but as noted upthread a GUC isn't the right way.  How do you feel
about a new set of functions with an additional flag argument of
some sort?
