The patch is in context diff format, applies with minor offsets,
compiles and passes regression tests.
 
I have to admit that after reading the patch, I think I previously
misunderstood the scope of it.  Am I correct in reading that the
main thrust of this is to improve error handling on standbys?  Is
there any provision for one backend to cause a *different* backend
which is idle in a transaction to terminate cleanly when it attempts
to process its next statement?  (That is what I was hoping to find,
for use in the SSI patch.)
 
Anyway, if the third patch file is only there because of my request,
I think it might be best to focus on the first two as a solution for
the standby issues this was originally meant to address, and then to
look at an API for the usage I have in mind after that is settled.
