Going by Stack Overflow activity, pivot/crosstab is second only to upsert when it comes to things that users find hard to do in Pg. I haven't investigated what'd be involved in implementing any integrated form of pivoting, and I'm aware that there are some serious challenges when it comes to generating a TupleDesc for pivot output. I thought I'd raise it in case anyone has looked into this and has any comments on whether this'd be a viable GSoC for an interested student. It's a nice idea, but the deadline to students send a proposal was 21th April.
