Yeah, I know those functions.  Sawada-san was talking about Ctrl + C, so I 
responded accordingly.

Also, how can the DBA find sessions to run those functions against?  Can he 
tell if a session is connected to or running SQL to a given foreign server?  
Can he terminate or cancel all session with one SQL command that are stuck in 
accessing a particular foreign server?

Furthermore, FDW is not cancellable in general.  So, I don't see a point in 
trying hard to make only commit be cancelable.
