operation every so often.  This improves the usefulness of PITR log
shipping for hot standby: formerly, if the standby server crashed, it
was necessary to restart it from the last base backup and replay all
the WAL since then.  Now it will only need to reread about the same
amount of WAL as the master server would.  The behavior might also
come in handy during a long PITR replay sequence.  Simon Riggs,

Fixed and cleaned up some regression tests. Also added a new one.

without indexes) but not to display temp tables.  It's a bit hard to
credit that sanity_check could get through a database-wide VACUUM
while the preceding create_index test is still trying to clean up
its temp tables ... but I see no other explanation for the current
failure report from buildfarm member sponge.

to happen automatically during pg_stop_backup().  Add some functions for
interrogating the current xlog insertion point and for easily extracting
WAL filenames from the hex WAL locations displayed by pg_stop_backup
and friends.  Simon Riggs with some editorialization by Tom Lane.

list, when some of the child rels have been excluded by constraint
exclusion.  This doesn't save a huge amount of time but it'll save some,
and it makes the EXPLAIN output look saner.  We already did the
equivalent thing in set_append_rel_pathlist(), but not here.

Patch from Michael Fuhr.

contradictory WHERE-clauses applied to a relation.  This makes the
GUC variable constraint_exclusion rather inappropriately named,
but I've refrained for the moment from renaming it.
Per example from Martin Lesser.

This doesn't matter too much for ordinary NOTs, since prepqual.c does
its best to get rid of those, but it helps with IS NOT TRUE clauses
which the rule rewriter likes to insert.  Per example from Martin Lesser.

that's shorter-lived than the expression state being evaluated in it really
doesn't work :-( --- we end up with fn_extra caches getting deleted while
still in use.  Rather than abandon the notion of caching expression state
across domain_in calls altogether, I chose to make domain_in a bit cozier
with ExprContext.  All we really need for evaluating variable-free
expressions is an ExprContext, not an EState, so I invented the notion of a
"standalone" ExprContext.  domain_in can prevent resource leakages by doing
a ReScanExprContext on this rather than having to free it entirely; so we
can make the ExprContext have the same lifespan (and particularly the same
per_query memory context) as the expression state structs.

the DROP pass rather than the ADD_CONSTR pass.  On examining the code I
think this was just an oversight rather than intentional, and it seems
to satisfy the principle of least surprise better than the alternative
solution that was discussed.  Add an example to the ref page showing how
to do ALTER TYPE and update the default in one command.  Per gripe from
Markus Bertheau that that wasn't possible.

check).  This isn't supported by pg_regress since the recent rewrite
into C.  While we could add char classes to pg_regress.c's code, it's
not really needed at the moment: thanks to Andrew's patch to make
pg_regress always accept the 'standard' comparison file, we can just
drop the version check.

This is faster and more thorough at recovering space than the previous
method; moreover it will do the right thing if something in the sublist
tries to register an expression context callback.
