lookup info in the relcache for index access method support functions.
This makes a huge difference for dynamically loaded support functions,
and should save a few cycles even for built-in ones. Also tweak dfmgr.c
so that load_external_function is called only once, not twice, when
doing fmgr_info for a dynamically loaded function. All per performance

to do that, but inconsistently.) Make bit type reject too short input,
too, per SQL. Since it no longer zero pads, 'zpbit*' has been renamed to
'bit*' in the source, hence initdb.
give consistent results for all datatypes. Types float4, float8, and
numeric were broken for NaN values; abstime, timestamp, and interval
were broken for INVALID values; timetz was just plain broken (some
possible pairs of values were neither < nor = nor >). Also clean up
text, bpchar, varchar, and bit/varbit to eliminate duplicate code and
thereby reduce the probability of similar inconsistencies arising in
the future.
position() and substring() functions, so that it works transparently for
bit types as well. Alias the text functions appropriately.
Add position() for bit types.
Add new constant node T_BitString that represents literals of the form
B'1001 and pass those to zpbit type.
Update functions to new-style fmgr, make BIT and VARBIT be binary-
equivalent, add entries to allow these types to be btree indexed,
correct a few bugs. BIT/VARBIT are now toastable, too.
NOTE: initdb forced due to catalog updates.
as MaxHeapAttributeNumber. Increase MaxAttrSize to something more
reasonable (given what it's used for, namely checking char(n) declarations,
I didn't make it the full 1G that it could theoretically be --- 10Mb
seemed a more reasonable number). Improve calculation of MaxTupleSize.
* the result is not recorded anywhere
* the result is not used anywhere

* the result is used improperly
Also make command line options handling a little better (e.g., --disable-locale,
while redundant, should really still *dis*able).
