Comment(by robe):

 Paul,

 hmm f_geography_column -- REALLY?  Me thinks you copied too much.

 Anyrate once I load up some data -- I'll submit patches so don't worry
 about it unless you feel the urge to correct.

 I was thinking for the maintenance functions, we should introduce a
 default argument -- call it -- use_typmod  which defaults to true.

 So new behavior would be to use typmod and if someone explicitly passes in
 false,  it will use the old behavior.  That will take care of my esoteric
 needs and I think keep the behavior that is most suitable for most people.

 I'll revise the view too -- trying out my idea on a database with a lot of
 tables to see if the speed is acceptable.
