To me it is not the business of a library to terminate its
user (eg an application) upon resource starvation. After all,
the app may be perfectly fine with not being able to talk to
the database. Only it knows what to do under such
circumstances.

If one wants to support such machinery, I would suggest a
callback into the application, set up by the application
code.
