It could be, but whether it will be is an entirely different question.
I think by and large we've discovered that GUC variables that alter the
defined semantics of SQL commands are not such a great idea. In any
case, you'd have to wait at least a year to solve your problem that
way, so fixing it on the client side is probably a better plan.
