A lot of the tasks listed under DATA TYPES are fairly self-contained
problems ... but what draws your interest? I think most of the tasks
that are on TODO are there either because they're hard problems, or
because nobody was very interested in them. Unfortunately they are not
marked as to which is which :-(. Make a list of things you find
interesting, and we can tell you if they're very hard or already claimed.

Hi Tom,
this is a list of things I'm interested in:
1) Allow administrators to safely terminate individual sessions
Right now, SIGTERM will terminate a session, but it is treated as though the postmaster has paniced and shared memory might not be cleaned up properly. A new signal is needed for safe termination.
2) Add a function that returns the 'uptime' of the postmaster
3) Have SHOW ALL and pg_settings show descriptions for server-side variables
to be honest I'm only looking for a particular task to get things started.
cheers,
Matthias
