What I came up with shoehorned a stripped-down version of the backend

checking provided by the parser of course. And for completeness a
client utility which can be called by scripts etc.
I can clean it up and submit it later for reference (got distracted by other
things
recently) though I don't think it's a particularly good solution due to the
lack of actual checks for the provided GUCSs (and the implementation
is ugly anyway); something like what Andres suggests below would be far better.
I think my main problem with that is that it duplicates a nontrivial
amount of code.
That is indeed part of the ugliness of the implementation.
