We can't really remove that typedef ever, because application code
might be using it. Unlikely I concede, but nonetheless it's part
of libpq's exposed API.
We might be able to s/pqbool/bool/ in the struct, but I kind of
wonder if that wouldn't be an ABI break: at the very least it
would lead to subtle changes in code compiled to use the struct.
On the whole I see little value in taking any risk here.
