* Allow EXPLAIN to identify tables that were skipped because of

constraint_exclusion

* Allow EXPLAIN output to be more easily processed by scripts

* -Eventually enable escape_string_warning and standard_conforming_strings

* -Enable escape_string_warning and standard_conforming_strings

* Make standard_conforming_strings the default in 8.3?

When this is done, backslash-quote should be prohibited in non-E''

strings because of possible confusion over how such strings treat

backslashes. Basically, '' is always safe for a literal single

quote, while \' might or might not be based on the backslash

handling rules.

* Simplify dropping roles that have objects in several databases

* Allow COMMENT ON to accept an expression rather than just a string

* Allow the count returned by SELECT, etc to be to represent as an int64
