Steve,

What are you thoughts on the TODO list? Are these getting pushed out 
post 6.0?

Are you planning to put thread locks around the parser global usage so 
you don not break thread safety? As opposed to making the code thread 
safe now? I do not think you can regress thread-safety and break that.

For the IN optimization, if the IN list is large, load the tokens into a 
btree structure and search will be very fast. I believe this is how 
postgres does it internally.

Unless there are some serious concerns from others on issues I'm not 
seeing, this seems like a huge amount of value for relatively low risk, 
other than changing a lot of code. I think this needs to go into 6.0.

+1 for 6.0
