I'd like to see it done for 7.5, but haven't personally had time to go
further than the proof-of-concept backend patch I posted awhile ago.

I think the minimum amount of additional work that has to be done before
we can apply it is to teach psql's input parser about $QUOTE$ ---
without that, the feature is not only useless but counterproductive.
After that we could get on with teaching pg_dump and other stuff about
it, at our leisure.

Any volunteers to fix psql?
