My assumption was that most of the time you'd want this behavior
per-session and so the existing mechanisms for setting a GUC variable
would work perfectly well.  If you really want it per-transaction then
changing the variable on the fly is possible (perhaps using SET LOCAL).
You'll be issuing nonstandard commands either way...
