Yeah, something along these lines is in my long term vision, but I don't think
it will happen for 7.4. I'd like one more contrib/dblink release for the code
to mature, and to solidify the features and understand the common usage issues.
Hopefully for the release *after* 7.4 I'll be ready to make a proposal to
integrate dblink into the backend, get it accepted, and get it implemented.
