IIRC this was to match the error in connectToServer(). We could probably
move to pg_fatal().

I don't see any problem with doing it the way you suggest.
Tangentially related, I waffled a bit on whether to require the query
callbacks to put the result in allocated memory. Some queries are the same
no matter what, and some require customization at runtime. As you can see,
I ended up just requiring allocated memory. That makes the code a tad
simpler, and I doubt the extra work is noticeable.

Good point.

Seems like a good idea. I think I was trying to change as few lines as
possible for my proof-of-concept. :)
