In my case, I want an improved cursor, one that will simply be able to be
"switched on" on existing applications. It is optional anyway and may be
marked 'experimental' until its functionality is almost identical to the
existing text cursors.
Using different classes, different adapters and in-transaction decisions (based
on the detected psycopg2 version, too) inside the applications is IMHO much
more messy (and expensive) than doing an automatic failover in the C library.
