I'm curious, is there any latest word on this?

(Note that I've read fully the link 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Alter_column_position as well as all links 
stemming from it).

I could go digging through the latest source code, or the mailing list 
Archives, but I get the feeling I'll really only get the latest info by asking 
here.

Yesterday I forgot to put an auto-incremting "id" column for the usual pkey on 
a table I was creating (I was just really sleepy). So I did an ALTER TABLE and 
added to the end. But then seeing the "id" column at the end of the column list 
in psql and PgAdminIII just really messed with the aesthetic sensibilities in 
my brain.

I know, I can do the work-arounds in the wiki, and in this case I just 
re-created the table since it was fresh and had no data, but I would still 
really love to be able to properly re-order things.

I would love to do it myself, but I'm barely even proficient with writing 
front-end SQL, let alone working on the backend of a complicated server 
implementation.

Dunno what good this email will do,
just felt like writing a bit :-)
