But I think I see what Tom objection to it is: if we "export" this
capability to libpq applications, then we set it in stone to a certain

speak. Upgrading to a newer libpq could break application code that
worked with the previous release's by splitting things differently.
I don't currently have an opinion on whether this is a bad thing or not.
Who wants to argue for/against?
I wonder if it shouldn't be in a separate 'helper' library, as it has no
direct ties to any libpq internals.
