For me, this is a must have. Not only because of the huge amount of time 
that we will save in migration to PostgreSQL (i know that this is not an 
argument) but because the only way we have to emulate such feature is to 
use custom configuration directives or a PL language that allows global 
variable. I have question almost every week on how to do that and the 
only answer I have is do this ugly pl/pgsql coding. It will be nice to 
have a feature to do that. Thanks Pavel and all involved in this 
implementation.
