 This would be very nice - because this also means to get SQL
statements that may really be 8k long !

 Perhaps you all remember a rather complex view statement I posted here
some days ago, where postgresql said something like "rule too large" and
this seems to be a limitation for me. Actually as a user one does not know
when this limit is reached by the system.

 All "we" (the users :-)) know about the 8192 byte limit of an SQL statement,
but this is not the whole truth.
