Or "idle_in_transaction_timeout"? Anyway I agree that using
"idle_timeout" for this is unwise. We've been asked often enough for a
flat-out idle timeout (ie kill session after X seconds of no client
interaction), and while I disagree with the concept, someday we might
cave and implement it. We should reserve the name for the behavior
that people would expect a parameter named like that to have.
