Some kind of design for progress seems like a good plan.  Some ideas:

- System view(s)

    This has the advantage of being shown to work at least to a PoC by
    this patch, and is similar to extant system views like
    pg_stat_activity in the sense of capturing a moment in time.

- NOTIFY

    Event-driven model as opposed to a polling one.  This is
    attractive on efficiency grounds, less so on reliability ones.

- Something added to the wire protocol

    More specialized, limits the information to the session where the
    command was issued

- Other things not named here

Best,
David.
