Ivan, maybe tracking history of a PostGIS topology would be an interesting
use case for you. It'd require tracking multiple tables at once, so that
"restore" operations are also performed on all tables at the same time.

I guess such use case would benefit for ad-hoc routines to support that,
should they be in your code ?
Or is there any postgis-specific code in yours ?
