In particular, note that Alvaro eventually sided with me against the
thing that Heikki argued for:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20160118195643.GA117199@alvherre.pgsql
Describing what happened that way is unfair on Heikki, because I don't
think he was at all firm in what he said about making the new
UNIQUE_CHECK_SPECULATIVE "like CHECK_UNIQUE_YES, but return FALSE
instead of throwing an error on conflict". We were working through the
design, and it didn't actually come to any kind of impasse.
It's surprising and disappointing to me that this supposed
disagreement has been blown out of all proportion.
