I think I jumped to conclusions when the part of my patch that touched struct RBTreeIterator failed to apply. But you're right, rb_iterate has been there since 9.0 now that I look more carefully.

Yeah, I'm now mighty confused about this as well. PL/Ruby is pretty old too, so how come nobody noticed this before? Is its rb_iterate call in someplace that hardly gets any use? regards, tom lane
