In a previous mail I stated something like "the name of the method doesn't 
matter"...... after better thinking I realized a decent name might be better 
than other ones...Let me say:
get_native_conn()get_native_connection()
might be better than "get_something_pgconn" because the same type of method 
could be useful for other databases in the future...More or less all the 
databases use a "native connection", only PostgreSQL uses "PGconn connection".

Have a good w.e.Ch.F.

I suppose it helps to debug the situation where the capsule is used 
after the connection has been closed. Instead of a BOOM you get a nice 
exception (if the consumer checks for it, obviously).

I'll work on this in my repo and if everything works we can integrate it 
for 2.8.
