Commit 62d712ecfd made query jumbling squash lists of Consts as a
single element, but there's no reason not to treat PARAM_EXTERN
parameters the same. For these purposes, these values are indeed
constants for any particular execution of a query.
In particular, this should make list squashing more useful for
applications using extended query protocol, which would use parameters
extensively.
A complication arises: if a query has both external parameters and
squashable lists, then the parameter number used as placeholder for the
squashed list might be inconsistent with regards to the parameter
numbers used by the query literal. To reduce the surprise factor, all
parameters are renumbered starting from 1 in that case.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
