I'd rather add a special-purpose large object interface than provide
a getter that breaks open the whole abstraction level.  What libpqxx
does underneath its interface is not always simple, and it depends on
provable properties that may not remain provable if the PGconn is
exposed.  Besides, this kind of accessor would eventually come back
to haunt me.
