By the way, cannot we consider just doing stored generated columns as a
first cut? Both virtual and stored columns have their use cases, but
stored values have less complication and support actually a larger set
of features, including rowtypes, index and constraint support. So it
seems to me that if something goes into v11 then stored columns would be
a better choice at this stage of the development cycle. Other DBMSs
support stored values by default as well, and your v1 patch had a large
portion of the work done if I recall correctly.
