* 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
