I was thinking that you might want it at a lower level than having to
issue a SQL command to get at the data.  A lot of what we changed in
the 7.4 protocol revision involved eliminating the need to use SQL
commands to get at information that a client library needs.

But see my later note questioning just how useful these features would
really be.
