Comment(by robe):

 -1.  No parameterized arguments allowed in a micro. Has to wait for 2.1.
 How would anyone know about this extra arg suddenly appearing in 2.0.3.
 How would software code around this potential extra argument option when
 they are assuming they only need to check a minor version number. Sorry to
 be a stickler about this, but I see adding a parameter in a micro causing
 more problems than solving. Plus it breaks our promise a long time back to
 PostgreSQL group that we would stop stop changing user facing apis in a
 micro.
