Hi,

I notice you cannot COMMENT ON the following:

* Cast
* Conversion
* Operator class

Docs:
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/sql-comment.html

Is that a deliberate omission, or is it an oversight? If it's
deliberate, it seems kind of arbitrary. Or have the docs just not been
updated?

Chris

Unimplemented feature AFAIR. BTW, if you feel like doing something
about this, COMMENT ON LARGE OBJECT <oid> would be good too.

* COMMENT ON [ CAST | CONVERSION | OPERATOR CLASS | LARGE OBJECT ]

Bruce - want to make this a TODO? May as well assign it to me - I'll
have a play with it. I assume this is a post-7.4 item?

Actually, what about COMMENT ON LANGUAGE as well?
