I think what that really translates to is "I don't want to bother doing
the careful design work that Robert talked about". -1 for that approach.
I generally feel that such a feature would be better off done
server-side --- after all, there's more clients in the world than psql
and pgbench, and not all of them could use a C library even if we had
one. But in either case the coding work is going to be dwarfed by the
design work, if it's done right and not just the-first-hack-that-
comes-to-mind.
