quoting in this case is just needless obscurantism.

Giving examples in the SQL command reference is hard because we don't
have conditionals at the SQL level.

function parameters and dollar quoting in examples; do some polishing
of the existing dollar-quoting docs).  The 'how to port from Oracle'
section is looking pretty respectable these days ...

uses that for win32 tablespaces.

don't generate constraint names like "$1" anymore.

Clean up README file a bit.

There won't be any, and in fact there won't even be an RTE for NEW,
which was leading to a core dump in CVS tip.  7.4 and earlier manage
not to crash when applying ResolveNew in this scenario, but I think
it was just good fortune that they didn't.  Per report from
Bernd Helmle.

improve existing descriptions.

per Andreas.

o "_" is not escaped, and causes TeX to abort, thinking it's a
  subscript outside of maths mode.  Most of my table and field names
  use underscores, so this is a really nasty one.
o The column count is calculated using the contents of opt_align. But
  opt_align has one extra element, and so it's always one too many.  I
  changed it to count the column headings, like all the other output
  formats.  There may be a bug in computing opt_align that this patch
  does not address, but I'm not yet familiar enough with the psql
  source to fix this as well.
o  The line drawing rules for each border setting (0-3) and expanded
  mode didn't always match the documented behaviour and what other
  formats (e.g. aligned) did.  I made it as conformant as possible,
  and also tidied the alignment of the first line of the footer, which
  was incorrectly indented.

This avoids changing the displayed appearance of ACL columns now that
array_out decorates its output with bounds information when the lower
bound isn't one.  Per gripe from Gaetano Mendola.  Note that I did not
force initdb for this, although any database initdb'd in the last
couple of days is going to have some problems.

recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program.  Additional
benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than
externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and
restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen
often).
