Looking at this patch, I am not sure that it is worth worrying about.
This is a receipt to make back-patching a bit more complicated, and it
makes the code more complicated to understand. So I would vote for
rejecting it and move on.

By the way, as you are placing this routine in src/common/, you may
want to consider updating the code in src/bin/ that use libpqcommon.
