The code would probably be pretty trivial, *if* we had consensus on

only use Unicode would probably like it if BOMs were unconditionally

(And I seem to recall somebody even proposing that finding a BOM
be cause to switch the client_encoding to UTF8.)
This is a bad idea. ISO 8859-1 uses 0xfe and 0xff (BOM) for some
characters.
Yeah, I think there is no consensus to do anything unless the client
encoding is UTF8.
