IMHO it would be confusing for PHP users. What about changing the PHP
function php_pgsql_do_connect so that it calls PQsetNoticeProcessor to
preserve the last NOTIFY string somewhere. And we would invent new PHP
function pg_notifymessage (or whatever) to extract the string later on.

I don't think so, if the TODO should only include things to do with
the PostgreSQL source code.
