Subject: Reimplement NUMERIC datatype using base-10000 arithmetic; also
 improve some of the algorithms for higher functions.  I see about a factor of
 ten speedup on the 'numeric' regression test, but it's unlikely that that
 test is representative of real-world applications. initdb forced due to
 change of on-disk representation for NUMERIC.

+Reimplementation of NUMERIC datatype for more speed
 New regular expression package, many more regexp features (most of Perl5)
 Can now do EXPLAIN ... EXECUTE to see plan used for a prepared query
 Explicit JOINs no longer constrain query plan, unless JOIN_COLLAPSE_LIMIT = 1
