Thanks for updating the patch. Here are some comments.
+ if (minlen >= maxlen)
+ ereport(ERROR,
+ (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),
+ errmsg("minlen must be greater than
maxlen.")));
There error message should be "minlen must be smaller than maxlen", right?
+ if (minlen < 0)
+ ereport(ERROR,
+ (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),
+ errmsg("minlen and maxlen must be greater than
zero.")));
Here the minlen might be zero, so the error message is incorrect.
How about use "minlen must be greater than or equal to zero"?
