Perhaps I didn't consider that out of sheer paranoia, but now that
you've mentioned it, I'm not inherently against doing it if
it'd work and not cause me more headaches than what I've got today.
As I mentioned in my other email, this is mainly for PostGIS, but it can
certainly apply to other modules. Is this what we would recommend as an
approach for these kinds of modules? I feel like that would give
-hackers, or perhaps the PostGIS people, some heartburn, but maybe I'm
wrong?
Still doesn't solve my complaint about being unable to keep the
functions from different modules seperate, but that's true regardless of
using pg_catalog or public, so this could at least be a net improvment.
Comments?
Thanks,
Stephen
