restructures the deferred trigger queue. The fundamental change is to
put all the static variables to hold the deferred triggers in a single
structure.

Nice catch.
There was a bug in the original metaphone algorithm from CPAN. Patch
attached (while I was at it I updated my email address, changed the
copyright to PGDG, and removed an unnecessary palloc). Here's how it
looks now:
regression=# select metaphone(a,4) from (select 'A A COMEAUX
MEMORIAL'::varchar AS a) a;
metaphone
-----------
AKMK
(1 row)
regression=# select metaphone(a,5) from (select 'A A COMEAUX
MEMORIAL'::varchar AS a) a;
metaphone
-----------
AKMKS
(1 row)

Regression tests for IPv6 operations added.
Documentation updated to document IPv6 bits.
Stop treating IPv4 as an "unsigned int" and IPv6 as an array of
characters. Instead, always use the array of characters so we
can have one function fits all. This makes bitncmp(), addressOK(),
and several other functions "just work" on both address families.
add family() function which returns integer 4 or 6 for IPv4 or
IPv6. (See examples below) Note that to add this new function
you will need to dump/initdb/reload or find the correct magic
to add the function to the postgresql function catalogs.
IPv4 addresses always sort before IPv6.
On disk we use AF_INET for IPv4, and AF_INET+1 for IPv6 addresses.
This prevents the need for a dump and reload, but lets IPv6 parsing
work on machines without AF_INET6.
To select all IPv4 addresses from a table:
select * from foo where family(addr) = 4 ...
Order by and other bits should all work.

specific hash functions used by hash indexes, rather than the old
not-datatype-aware ComputeHashFunc routine. This makes it safe to do
hash joining on several datatypes that previously couldn't use hashing.
The sets of datatypes that are hash indexable and hash joinable are now
exactly the same, whereas before each had some that weren't in the other.

the same high level of abstraction.

to put spaces around parameter references, as in "x<=$2". The second
change improves compatibility with Oracle and some other RDBMSes. This
was discussed and agreed to back in January, but did not get done.
