Not to sound annoyed here (long, long day), but we have been down
this path before. The general consensus (sp?) was that parts were to
radical (for 6.5.* maint. releases) and had a tendency to break other
platforms. A quick test showed that they broke Linux/Intel to some extent.

Yea, I know I could clean them up with #define __alpha__ type fun,
and I plan to do so, probably for the 6.6 release (what I really meant to
say above). It is just right now busy is an understatement for my life.
For some reason, my professors see design projects as more important than
hacking Postgres. :(
