I have a client who is looking for a way to be able to alter objects
without having to recreate (say, from a dump) all the objects in a
possibly large dependency tree rooted at the object. Of course, if the
alteration invalidates the dependency, than this operation should fail,
but adding a column to a view or table (which is our most common case)
should arguably be a benign operation that shouldn't fail because of
dependencies.

I couldn't see anything in the TODO list that seemed appropriate, in a
quick scan.

Thoughts?

cheers

andrew
