[HACKERS] Maximum identifier lengths

[Thomas Swan]

The 7.4 release increased the maximum length for column and table 
identifiers to 64 characters.   Are there any plans to increase the 
maximum length out to the SQL spec of 128 characters?   I remembered 
some performance penalties for the longer name lengths for hash joins 
but I don't know if any of the many improvements for the 8.0 release 
have change or reduced the penalties for such identifiers.
