I wasn't sure how far back it went, but if it's only to 9.1, then yes,
farther than that.  Specifically, to as far back as we wish to provide
support for pg_dump, assuming it's reasonable to do so.

This would certainly be nice to have, but the first is more important.
coverage.pg.org is nice to tell people "hey, here's where you can look
to find what we aren't covering", but when you're actually hacking on
code, you really want a much faster turn-around and you'd like that
pre-commit too.

Thanks!
