2. I don't think it's a good idea for the same patch to try to solve
two problems unless they are so closely related that solving one

A NOT NULL constraint apparently is just a special case of a check constraint
which seems closely related enough to match your definition.
Yes, that might be true. I suppose I'd like to hear from the patch
author(s) about that. I'm somewhat coming around to your idea that
maybe both should be covered together, but I'm not the one writing the
patch.
Álvaro Herrera has put (and is still putting) immense effort into
turning NOT NULL into a CHECK constraint.
Honestly, I don't see why the two patches need to be combined.
