I remember trying that, and if I remember correctly, it broke with core GUCs, without any need for extensions in the picture. I don't remember the details too well, unfortunately, but I think it had to do with the behavior of some of the check and/or assign hooks. It's probably time to try it again, because (a) maybe things are different now, or (b) maybe I did it wrong, and in any event (c) I can't really remember why it didn't work and we probably want to know that. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
