Implement SQL-standard WITH clauses, including WITH RECURSIVE. There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL (should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses. These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a pretty useful feature. There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles, which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly. But let's land the patch now so we can get on with other development.

Fix bug with WITH RECURSIVE immediately inside WITH RECURSIVE. 99% of the code was already okay with this, but the hack that obtained the output column types of a recursive union in advance of doing real parse analysis of the recursive union forgot to handle the case where there was an inner WITH clause available to the non-recursive term. Best fix seems to be to refactor so that we don't need the "throwaway" parse analysis step at all. Instead, teach the transformSetOperationStmt code to set up the CTE's output column information after it's processed the non-recursive term normally.
