advancing ActiveSnapshot when we are inside a volatile function.
Per example from Gaetano Mendola. Add a regression test to catch
similar problems in future.
after an unknown or failed psql backslash command, and also while
discarding "extra" arguments of a putatively valid backslash command.
In the case of an unknown/failed command, make sure we discard the
whole rest of the line, rather than trying to resume at the next
backslash. Per discussion with Thomer Gil.
several reports of users being confused when they attempt to use ELSEIF
and run into trouble due to PL/PgSQL's lax parser. The parser will be
improved for 8.1, but we can fix most of the problem by allowing ELSEIF
for now.

DECLARE x setof int;

plpgsql variables could be sets ...
checks, to ensure the previous test backend has time to quit out of the
regression database. Also, allow all the checks to be run even if one
of them fails. Per suggestions from Andrew Dunstan to improve the
usefulness of buildfarm testing.
thought there couldn't be any, but the folly of this was exposed by an
example from andrew@supernews.com 5-Dec-2004. The patch applies the
identical logic already used for table constraints and defaults to ON
SELECT rules, so I have reasonable confidence in it even though it might
look like complicated logic.
be emitted too soon. The previous code got this right in the case where
the CHECK was emitted as a separate ALTER TABLE command, but not in the
case where the CHECK is emitted right in CREATE TABLE. Per report from
Slawomir Sudnik.
Note: this code is pretty ugly; it'd perhaps be better to treat comments
as independently sortable dump objects. That'd be much too invasive a
change for RC time though.
