I think there's still a fair argument for "pg_ctl reload" being able to
return a simple yes-or-no result. We had talked about trying to shoehorn
textual error messages into the protocol, and I'm now feeling that that
complication isn't needed, but a bare-bones feature would still be worth
the trouble IMO.
