Description:
------------
The following six functions have been added in PHP 4.3:

- pg_convert()
- pg_delete()
- pg_insert()
- pg_meta_data()
- pg_select()
- pg_update()

They been marked as EXPERIMENTAL for close to eleven years now, effectively 
preventing anybody from using them outside of test environments. Ten years is 
too long for an experiment. The functions should either be removed from PHP, or 
moved to a PECL extension, or documented as safe to use.

All of them perform useful tasks, so my personal preference would be the latter 
option.

Yasuo, what's your thought on this?

I have an idea about pg_insert/etc.
I would like to make it more general by using escapes instead of validation for each types.

It makes it possible to support various types including user defined types.

I'll write a new RFC for this, hopefully soon.
