I'm pretty sure we don't have the ability to support that at either the
libpq or the protocol level today, but in general I do think it's a good
idea and would be good to support.  To be honest, I seem to recall
someone talking about working on it (or perhaps it's on the TODO?).  In
any case, long way there from here.
