Not following. To be exposed they have to exist and that is not the

That I figured out:)
I can’t parse your “To be exposed they have to exist and that is not the

has said to the Postgres community that they’ve embarked on, or at least
are interested in, implementing what I’m asking about?
Not that I know of. What was being danced around is that Oracle
compatibility is a key feature of EDB's business model:

I had assumed that the answer to “How do I get these features built?”
was “Write a C implementation and submit it for consideration”. But I
can’t do that. The obvious Google searches like “Submit enhancement
request for PostgreSQL” turn up only informal emails to lists like this.
Is there a better answer?
Not really, though if you want to bring this up --hackers is the best list.
