key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.
Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type).
Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92
and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions.
Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility.
Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte.
Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types.
Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL.
Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type.
Rename some math functions to generic names:
round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc.
Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow().
Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4.
Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string
arguments (from Edwin Ramirez).
Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.
is a working 64-bit-int type available.
In playing around with it on my machine, I found that gcc provides
perfectly fine support for "long long" arithmetic ... but sprintf()
and sscanf(), which are system-supplied, don't work :-(. So the
autoconf test program does a cursory test on them too.
If we find that a lot of systems are like this, it might be worth
the trouble to implement binary<->ASCII conversion of int64 ourselves
rather than relying on sprintf/sscanf to handle the data type.
