Please see the latest version of this, attached. I've removed the left
join, re-used the 'query' buffer (instead of destroying and recreating
it), and added a bit of documentation, along with a note in the commit
message for the release notes.
Would be great if you could review it and let me know. As mentioned in
my other email, I'm happy to include the TAP test in master once we've
worked out the correct way to handle installing the extension for
testing in the Makefile system.
Thanks!
