Well, it all depends on how much ALTER stuff you want to add. An
open-ended commitment to write anything anybody could ever want
would certainly run to thousands of lines. A narrow focus on fixing
proven problems would probably be a lot more manageable ... but if
you have ambitions of fixing problems before anyone has hit them,
it's going to be hard to keep it small.
