Um, it's not clear *when* you need to know this:
- application configure time?
- application compile time?
- application link time?
- application run time?
Of those possibilities, "add a function" responds to only one, and it's
the one I can see least use-case for. I should think that by run-time
it's probably too late to do much about it other than fail.
You can find out whether thread-safety was mentioned in our configure
settings by looking at the result of pg_config --configure. This might
be enough for the find-out-at-configure-time case.
