Comment:

 filosofo -- Either I am misunderstanding you, or you are misunderstanding
 this patch.

 post_parent works in different circumstances.  This patch allows you to
 use the following in a template:

 query_posts('child_of='.$post->ID);

 I use it (for example) for a "section index" page -- I create a loop that
 lists just the children of the current page.  if I can do this somehow
 with "post_parent", could you please give a simple example?

 This won't be going to 2.8 anyway (feature freeze), so I'll update the
 patch for 2.9 after 2.8 is released.

 If appropriate, I can change the parameter from "child_of" to "parent",
 though it seems a bit unintuitive to use "parent" as "this is the parent
 of...."  (But if that's the standard in WP, so be it.)
