No, they could revise their patch to be more stylistically in keeping
with libpq.  I haven't looked at the current version of the patch yet,
but the early versions seemed quite overengineered to me, so your

I'm wondering why the hooks need names at all.  AFAICS all that
libpq needs to know about a hook is a callback function address
and a void * passthrough pointer.
