I updated the page already to be clear about what versions of PostgreSQL 
it works on, and it directs people to Shaun's original message if they 
are running 8.2.  The only people who might get confused now are the 
ones running EDB's versions, where the exact features you get in 
particular versions can be slightly different than the community 
version.  But that problem both exists in other parts of the wiki, and 
is a bit outside of its scope to try and address.
